    Without a rapid turnaround and serious commitment to building affordable accommodation on campus from , students from middle/low income backgrounds will be locked out of studying at UCD permanently.😧 Who can afford €7000 rent to share a room?!

    This is *wild*. Even the more basic accommodation in UCD will cost €8,059 for the next academic year, compared to €3,694 in 2007-08. That’s an increase of 118%, for a period when the RTB’s figures show Dublin apartment rents have risen 47%.

    Time for a disciplinary investigation into underperformance by Dolores Cahill ⁩ given persistent reports (as below) of non-UCD related activities, no teaching, or recent research activity. Today’s performance is tip of iceberg .

    I joined today to show solidarity with the Palestinians of East Jerusalem facing expulsion from their city.. and also to call on the government to stop Israel's plans for demolitions, expulsions and demographic re-engineering of the city.

    Students who were moved onto the PUP when businesses were closed are now being locked out of accessing SUSI.😥 PUP needs to be disregarded from the SUSI threshold. Students will be unable to progress with their degrees as a result of this!

    0:57
    Students are workers too. Many work to pay for college or rent. Youth unemployment has skyrocketed during this pandemic and many students have/still avail of the PUP. These students should not be punished further by having supports like SUSI taken away or cut.

    Our equality legislation must reflect the lived reality of society today. That's why I’ve launched a public consultation as part of a review of the Equality Acts. You can make a submission below. I'd especially encourage those who have experienced discrimination to participate.

    Great news. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow and strengthen North-South research collaborations.

    Welcome remark from but it’s important that a last minute turnaround doesn’t occur like last year. Students can’t afford to be fleeced by unscrupulous landlords a second year running. Hopefully planned mid-July roadmap provides certainty for students🤞

    Minister has said the Delta variant won’t jeopardise plans for college students to get back to campus’ in September. “Our plans remain very much on track.”
