I was in TCD library using databases this week, and i did notice how there was no longer access to some journals. This particular stealth cutback now makes sense to me. I would also add the academics that I spoke to seemed jaded, exhausted and I did wonder if my former department would survive much longer as those retiring are not being replaced!
FFS: education is NOT A MARKETPLACE and it should not be treated as such. Everyone should get the best education they can, and there should be an end to these 'petty' cutbacks in funding for this or that project. If you treat Irish tertiary education like a marketplace - you can ultimately end up with a crash... peeps will just go elsewhere!!
