USI to Demonstrate Against Reintroduction of College Fees on Behalf of Leaving Certificate Students

by Godot - not USI, just compensating for their inability to publicise their activities to students

The Union of Students in Ireland is to rally against the re-introduction of Third Level fees at 12pm on Wednesday, August 12th, outside Trinity College Dublin.

Press release:

The Union of Students in Ireland is to rally against the re-introduction of Third Level fees at 12pm on Wednesday, August 12th, outside Trinity College Dublin.

Angry members of the USI will voice their strong opposition to education minister Batt O’Keefe’s proposals to implement a graduate tax or deferred loan system on the students of Ireland.

This event will coincide with the release of the Leaving Certificate results, when thousands of young people discover how they performed in the State exams.

USI President Peter Mannion said:

“This is a time when students should be excited about receiving their Leaving Certificate results and going to college to study their chosen subjects, but many thousands of young people will be signing up to a system where their futures come with a hefty mortgage.

If the Minister of Education gets his way, these students will be liable to pay tens of thousands of Euros in future for a degree. It is grossly unfair that these young people, who expected to receive a free education just over a year ago, will now be targeted with fees.”
