National March on November 3rd

On November 3rd UCC students will be joining thousands of others from across the country to march in Dublin. Government sources have indicated that students face an increase of €1,500 in the registration fee, on top of cutbacks to the core services of their colleges. Check out Keith’s video for a full rundown of the information we have, and why we need to make our voices heard.

Over the past few weeks SUs around the country have been meeting with and lobbying TDs and Senators on these issues, but now we need to show them that we are serious, and that students will not take this lying down.
