Young Fine Gael President William Lavelle has today asked CIE to introduce a new €5 national travel card for students of 3rd level colleges outside Dublin.

Lavelle states: "CIE are ripping-off students of 3rd level colleges outside Dublin by obliging them, when buying a national travel card, to pay an extra €10 for a discount card for Dublin Bus & Rail services, even though they may never use Dublin Bus or Rail. read full story / add a comment

I've been trying to work out who will be listed as anti-bin tax local election candidates.
I'm not making any comment on whether this is a waste of time, just merely trying to ascertain who is likley to be the candidate in each ward. Below is the list I have compiled. I'm not sure that this is accurate. I'm only going on previous announcements. That's where you come in. read full story / add a comment

“What is the use of rainbow week” is the title of a tread on the UCD student union message board. Followed by a comment that says “I don't know if the scrawls on the posters were homophobic - sounds like it was people who think it's funny to slag gay people, not necessarily homophobes!” Reading this makes me think of this Le Tigre song Tres bien and the line “because they will try to convince us that we have arrived, that we are already there, that it has happened. Because we need to live in the place where we are truly alive, present, safe and accounted for.” read full story / add a comment

The drop in CAO numbers was reported on the front page of last Wednesday’s Irish Times. However it only briefly mentioned that the OECD is currently working on a report of the third level sector here. What it didn’t mention though was that this was at the behest of the Higher Education Authority. Also going unreported is the fact that the OECD heaped praise in a report (following an IMF heaping similar praise) upon Blair’s top up fees in January. I wonder if the HEA and the Dept of Education are expecting an OECD change of heart, in regards to it’s future report for our colleges? read full story / add a comment
