This afternoon.

Dublin city centre.

The Union of Students (USI) in Ireland estimate 5,000 students joined their national demonstration today to warn the government of the impact of income-contingent loans on students and young people.

The march headed towards the Department of the Taoiseach for a performance by the Rubberbandits and a call on the Government and the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills to choose the publicly-funded third level education model as outlined in the Cassells Report.

FIGHT!

Yesterday.

The Sheraton Hotel, Gleeson Street, Athlone, Co Westmeath.

A Union of Students in Ireland annual congress group shot and heart-shaped hand gesturing in support of the May marriage referendum and the launch of a campaign to “clear the decks” for students to vote.

USI President Laura Harmon sez:

“Students are overwhelmingly in favour of Marriage Equality, and complacency is simply not an option for us. We’re calling for all colleges, where necessary, to change exam times on the 22nd of May to allow students to vote….”

FIGHT!
