Students accuse Govt of 'reneging' on fees and grants
The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) has warned that a hike in university fees and the abolition of the postgraduate grant announced in the Budget will exclude thousands of would-be students from education.
USI president Gary Redmond said the Government’s credibility lies in tatters, particularly as the Labour Party has reneged on its pre-election pledge to protect students.
