The success of delaying the #StopHEABill22 shows that if we organize, we can defeat the government. We will have to keep fighting but this partial victory shows that it IS possible. Imagine what we could achieve together if we were thousands on the streets!

With @aliceeire @tcdsu @TrinityGSU @NCADSU @DCUSU @UCDSU at last Wednesday's Seanad debate. As you can see, we were not happy with Minister Harris guillotining the bill. Of course, we are not the only ones last week to suffer the guillotine at their hands! #StopHEABill22

. @SimonHarrisTD is rejecting every amendment @TheUSI want to make to the #StopHEABill22. Read the letter below which shatters all illusions that they care about the student voice. We'll fight this @SenDavidNorris @SenLynnRuane @GoddessGuide @sdcbarrett @RBoydBarrett @aliceeire

@tcdsu will challenge this no doubt @GabiFullam4pres @TCDSU_President alongside @TrinityGSU Losing a welfare officer off University Boards across the country means less student representation and we need it more than ever now in @tcddublin and nationwide to equality proof policy.

I have always and will always stand with you @INMO_IRL You sacrifice a lot as professional carers and your conditions are unfair. Some nurses tell me that they leave work without eating all day and are in fear of bringing the virus home. We need to push change! @HSE needs reform!

We won! Following intense advocacy efforts by us, @tcdsu and @TrinityGSU, the fee increase has been widthdrawn. This shows the power of the collective to fight the commercialization of academia. Onwards towards an equitable education system.

Ireland has the highest fees in the EU on top of rising costs for accommodation and living expenses, some families are priced out of @tcddublin Fee hikes damage the fabric of accessibility and equality in Higher Education. The Government needs to fund it. bit.ly/36I3tPF
