The prosecution of a man for burning the Qur'an shows how Islamic blasphemy codes are becoming embedded in criminal law. Coming up with a legal definition of 'Islamophobia' will accelerate this process, says Sam Bidwell.

Solar farms are an ecological disaster. Birds frequently fly into them, mistaking them for water, while electrocution and incineration are common. But you won't hear about this in the mainstream media, says Chris Morrison.

Students defend themselves from fees

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday October 08, 2002 21:21author by Fiachra O'Luain - ULSU (Personal capacity)author address Castletroy, Limerick Report this post to the editors

Thousands expected on streets of Limerick

Thousands of Students to take Limerick by Storm. To reject any threat to Ireland's Freedom of Education.

Over 3000 students from all of the four colleges in Limerick will march into the city centre for a rally at 3pm at Arthurs' Quay on Wednesday the 9th of October.
Students from UL, LIT, LSAD and the Mary Immaculate Third Level Institutes are set to take Limerick by storm tomorrow.
There has been wide spread uproar at the 69% increase in registration fees which now disqualify any student unable to pay the fee of nearly €1000 at the beginning of the year.
That uproar has been ignited into large scale student anger that the Irish Right to Free Education is now being assulted by Noel Dempsey, Minister for Education who has proposed a reintroduction of fees starting at €4000 per student per year in time for September 2003.
Many students are adamant that this move would align our education system with a process of privatisation as proposed in the GATS
which is a series of proposals drawn up by the WTO which aims to open up almost all aspects of life to ownership by corporations ignoring the wishes of the local population. This will be much more difficult to fight if the Nice Treaty is forced through.

Best of luck with the march. I think that we can really put pressure on this government. Mass action of students, not just publicity stunts, can defeat fees.

Here in UCD the Campaign for Free Education (CFE) is organising a mass protest on Tuesday 15th at 3pm. We're expecting a very large number. We're doing up 10,000 leaflets, and we've got over 500 posters.


FIGHT THE FEES!
MASS ACTION CAN DEFEAT THE FEES!

In response to the last comment.
The students will be there so we hope that you will join us. You are welcome to come along and give out leaflets about Shannon on Saturday.
Good Luck.
