A number of Students' Unions have discussed the issue of the jailings of Joe Higgins TD and Cllr. Clare Daly, who is a former DCUSU President.

UCDSU passed a motion of support for bin tax protesters. The Executive noted the severity of the sentances for Joe and Clare and the mass opposition to the 'regressive' bin charges.

USI Officer Board also discussed the issue. USI Deputy President, Gareth Keogh, attended the 5000 strong demonstration on Monday. NUI Maynooth SU also discussed the issue, as have IT Tallaght SU.
