Looks like my local Sinn Fein TD from Louth supports the student have a read, every1 should be supporting sinn fein they rock!




A chara

I am writing to confirm my support for the USI campaign. Our party's
spokesperon
on Education, Seán Crowe TD, has written to Colm Jordan, the
President of USI,
to state on the record that when students take to the streets they
do so with
the full backing of Sinn Féin and to remind him of our absolute
commitment to
the principle of free education for all.

The more aggressive and high profile protest actions of USI this year
have been
a refreshing and welcome development and I have no doubt it will play a
key role
in advancing the agenda of all who advocate a fair and inclusive
education
system.

The introduction of free fees was not the solution the government
of the day
represented it as. It has done little for many of the young people
attempting to
enter university from some of the poorest parts of this state, while
making it
easier for some. But it was a step in the right direction. It was a
move towards
a fair and open system of education. It cannot be expected to be
the sole
solution to tackling inequality in Irish education.

We need massive increases in state support for students to bring the
grant in
line with social welfare levels and we need purpose built and
state funded
student accommodation to tackle the ongoing student accommodation
crisis. These
are all problems that were identified years ago and about which the
government
has done little.

Students are expected to live on the poverty line while this government
refuses
point blank to consider a fairer taxation system and a more just
redistribution
of wealth. When students take to the streets on the 5th they will do so
with the
full support of Sinn Féin and, I am sure, the support of hundreds of
thousands
of people across the state who support the development of a fair and
inclusive
education system.

It's all just words and any political party can do the same, it's not until I see some action that I will be swayed by a party.
