Obviously more important for UCD staff to have extra leg room on a 8 hour flights than for PhD students to be able to afford rent🙃

The Irish far-right are truly disgusting cretins. Using an attack on children to push their racist agenda, based on rumours created by themselves. A great embarrassment to the people of Ireland.

Interesting essay by @Andrew_J_Tighe!

This is not enough. PhD students have a central role in running universities. This increase will not solve the problem, it feels like a slap on the wrist. We have warned the minister, universities etc. now is time to strike. @PWO_Ireland @OrlaFeely
