Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7point was made earlier in the year. After it was decided there would be no college fees, it was also decided that they would get their money some other way...through billing other projects and not funding others.
It is sickening that their efforts to leech taxpayers money was even considered at all. Trinity has been expanding from College Green to the Grand Canal and has brought no benefits to the areas it snakes through. Witness the tube across Westland Row preserving its students from contagion from the plebs below. It´s expansion has ruined local shops and closed the Trinity Inn pub indefinitely. The State should be slamming compulsory purchase orders on thee sizeable stock of land and housing stock they are sitting on and providing no benefit to anybody.
During term time, every hour on the hour from nine to five, you have hundreds of students crossing a busy road from the main campus to goldsmith hall. An elevated walkway was a wonderful idea and for the first few months it was wonderful. No risk to teenage kids being run down, no interference to traffic.
Then some gobshite said "geez, they must think they're better than everyone else" and the walkway was closed off from students who then had to run the gauntlet of traffic again - and have had to do so for over seven years now. The only people allowed use the walkway are students resident in Goldsmith hall.
So, two things -
1) What kind of gobshite thinks it's a great idea to force teenage kids to cross a busy road in their hundreds every hour, on the hour, five days a week, nine months of the year, disrupting traffic and risking injury, when there's a perfectly sound elevated walkway to get the bulk of them off the road?
2) What kind of gobshite writes about students using a walkway when they're not allowed use it and anyone watching the crossing knows it?
What sort of wanker gets the hump when a cosy, exclusive little feature to protect the priveliged is criticised for being a visible symbol of the fuck-the-proles attitude of TCD and it's gobshite defenders like "Sparks". So the poor students have to risk life and limb crossing the road like the rest of us? Scandalous! Call the SWP College branch to organise a mass action protest.
So be quiet you TCD bashing fools.
Your whinging about TCD reveals your own bigotry more than anyone elses.
i was one of those priviledged few to walk across the pathway from goldsmith to trinity every day, and i definitely felt superior to everyone. why wouldn't i have? going to trinity, walking on a special bridge...
You study at Trinity therefore it follows that you simply have to be an upper class knob. How brilliant. Must tell that to Rory Hearne next time I see him...
