Backlash as Maynooth University terminates new student centre plan due to spiralling costs

Students at Maynooth University. Current students and alumni are outraged after paying a levy fee since 2015 which was to fund the construction of the student centre.

Students at Maynooth University say they are angry about the decision to abandon the construction of a new students centre due to the spiralling costs associated with it. 

The construction was terminated due to rapidly escalating costs linked to technical construction issues as well as hyperinflation, according to the university.
