Maynooth University students to stage walkout in row over levy

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.

Maynooth University students are to stage a walk-out of lectures this morning in response to the decision to abandon the construction of a new student centre.

The university decided not to proceed with the centre due to spiralling construction costs, despite students saying they have been paying an increased levy since 2015 to fund the project.
