NUIG academic staff are the first to be hit by a coordinated attack across the universities on staff conditions, notably academic freedom, tenure, flexible work and holiday entitlements. This attack is being spearheaded during the exam season when most staff are too busy to respond - and in the last days of the FF / GP government, no doubt on the calculation that they may not have political cover for this kind of attack post-election. ... read full story / add a comment

There are currently around 100 student activists occupying the grounds of the Department of Education, on Marlborough St., Dublin. At the time of writing there is an open space discussion happening on the subject of "alternative education". Gardai have locked the gate and are not allowing additional participants to enter.
