TCD's decision to further increase their high rents during a cost of living crisis that have people stretched to the limits is totally out of line with their claims of concern for student & PGR welfare. Housing for need, not for greed.

We believe @LindaDoyle’s recent email addressing @tcdsu’s campaign against increases in master’s fees is unacceptable and sets a dangerous precedent for students’ rights and activism on campus. Let’s unpack what’s wrong! 🧵

The PhD system in Ireland is broken. We deserve to be paid a living stipend for the research that we do. #PayUsEnoughToLive so that the future of Irish research can flourish! @USI_Postgrad @tcdsu #PhDVoice #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter

A €500 increase for a few but not all PhDs falls far short of what we need + deserve Campaigning forced govt to recognise us in #Budget2023, escalation will bring us closer to livable incomes & working rights Soon we'll host an open meeting to build for that action, join us 💪

A long overdue increase for IRC stipends announced today for all existing & new scholarships. An increase of €16,000 to €18,500! However, the increase still does not fully cover fees & is not equivalent to the living wage. A great start but more reform to come! #PostgradRights

Full support and #solidarity to #MedicalScientists on strike today. They're asking for basics, for pay equality & respect for their profession. 20% of medical scientist posts are vacant, this cannot continue. Govt must act. Show your support if you're near a picket today💪

The motion to remove the Mandate of support between TCDSU and PWO TCD has failed to pass. We look forward to putting these events behind us, working on the underlying issues which lead to such a motion being tabled and working alongside the SU in solidarity once again.

Minister @SimonHarrisTD agrees with the 'sentiments' of @pb4p motion to #RemoveTheBarriers to higher education yet does not support it. This means the Minister does not support postgraduate workers' rights #PostgradRights
