Finally!

In a shocking development today, the USI relaised they represent students not colombian bottle plant workers or African mothers who got screwd over by Nestle and done something related to education! :!: :!: :!: <concludes rant>.

Well, in case you missed it

Students from University College Dublin staged a sit-in this afternoon at the offices of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to protest at a delay in receiving local authority grants

And

It was organised by the Union of Students in Ireland.

We did sweet fa in Trinity. I signed a petition calling for living expenses to be taken into account when handing out grants.

The guy sitting in front of me asked what it was for, and his friend responded "its to give money to poor people". I love BESS.

[Gladstone]

We should give all students a living grant so they don't have to work.

It would cripple the retail and bar industry :twisted:

[Dee Four]

And we would want to that why?

[Gladstone]

I have to work in retail part time during college...and I hates it.

Can my vandetta not become public policy? :

Yeah I saw that in UCD a few back. It's good to see the Student Union actually doing something that is related to students, matters and will probably do some good. It gave me a bit more faith in student politics.
