Students have said that drastic measures are needed to reform third level education in Ireland following a nationwide protest.
Third level students across the country walked out of their lectures today at 11:11 to protest the cost of living crisis. Students at Trinity College Dublin gathered en masse at the university’s dining hall steps to call for long term supports.
Jenny Maguire, the gender equality officer of Trinity's Student Union, was the first person in her family to attend Trinity College. She explained that issues such as the student accommodation crisis are locking out generation from experiencing a normal education.
