Hope to see you there!

The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) are organising a National Demonstration in Dublin on Wednesday 5th of Febuary.

The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) are organising a National Demonstration in Dublin on Wednesday 5th of Febuary.

The Aims of our campaign are:

1. The Government of Ireland to immediately replace all fees relating to third level education with direct exchequer support.

2. The Government of Ireland to immediately raise the Third Level Maintenance Grant significantly in order to cover the basic living cost of students.

3. The Government of Ireland to increase the income thresholds in order to allow more people to qualify for the Third Level Maintenance Grant.

4. The Government of Ireland to make immediate moves towards the construction of purpose built and state funded Student Accommodation in all Third Level Institutions in the State.

5. To reintroduce free medical care for all third level students in the Republic of Ireland.

This demonstration will be of ALL USI Colleges in the country, and one or two more besides. We are also inviting Trade Unions and any other organisations which believe that free education is a right, not a privelige.

We will be leaving from Mountjoy Square at 1.30 PM and heading to the Dail from there.

It appears even the comatose DCUSU are getting their finger out of the asses this time and they've even made cute little 'who killed kenny/your right to free education'.

Here's hoping that the students of DCU will show up.

do not enjoy education beyond primary level.

In over fifty countries upon finishing primary level education boys are given guns.

In most of the world these people are exploited by those 1st World workers who accept employment with multi-national-corporations and continue to perverse their intelligence in the imperialistic exploitation of their fellow less well educated brothers and sisters.

The students of Ireland aren´t lazy.
the students of Ireland aren´t parasites.
the students of Ireland are the future minions of global exploitation.

what else would one expect from a crypto facist country?
what else would one expect from a country whose primary contribution to global education was nuns and priests who brought "making black babies white" to Africa?

I write with the permission of my peers in the 5th international of global anarchists.

you are the question.
we have the solution.

Trotwatch could you please explain what antics you hope SY in UCD will refrain from pulling, so that people aren't put off coming on this demo.

Could these antics be the ferocious amount of work we have done in building for all past fee demonstrations involving UCD??

Or perhaps it could be the actions of the Campaign for Free Education, in which we have played a leading role with others??

Or maybe you have a problem with our actions on the last USI demo - at which, after the suggestion of a Labour Party member and consulation with other activists, we led a militant contingent away from the main demonstration which was penned in by cops, first attempted to stage a sit-down protest in front of the Dail, and then held a sit-in in the Department of Transport??

Which one of our many militant pro-student antics has gotten up your nose?
