It is important that we let him know that we will not accept cutbacks in our education. Meet outside the Quinn school at 5:50pm and let him know what you think. If he blocks our access to university, we'll block his!

Poor Communication

That is the worst poster I have ever seen. Seriously, if you want people to get involved in this action then this is the worst way of going about it. Is it a anarcho-punk protest?

Actually, it is a very poor poster- even from a communication point of view- the date and time should be clearer and more prominent.

Question

Is there a march against student fees on the 22nd?

I've heard rumours of it in DIT but no actual posters or anything.

Best of luck to all out in UCD tonight when Lenihan rolls in.
Call him a bollocks, on behalf of grannies everywhere ;)

Get a report up quick too, interested in seeing if he even shows up after UCD students stopped the last FF Minister (well, he didn't show up...so I suppose its fair to say they stopped him!)

Go neirí libh.

good turnout

The poster helped produce a good demo judging from reports in the national media today .It is a pity though that there isn't a left leaning Irish website that could carry reports of such protests as they happen .

There is a left leaning website that can collate the experiences of student demonstrations like this, you are on it. The responsibility to provide the media lies with the students themselves. Did they have someone on point on a computer down in the arts block or wherever where they could phone in reports and photos? It's one method of getting around the relative media silence on events like this.

not really what I had in mind

I wasn’t talking about collating experiences , but reporting on them .Yes there was somebody with a mobile phone at UCD last night ,but what I'd like to see is a site that you could instantly send a report of a demo like this to , where it could be published straight away and readers could perhaps ask questions to the person who sent in the report .
Fair play to “reporter”who posted on this thread btw.

report back
author by Gotdot - Free Education for Everyonepublication date Wed Oct 22, 2008 00:45author email stopfees at gmail dot comauthor address author phone

There will be a report back on the Lenihan protest & the USI demo tomorrow night. We are currently working on our own website. The combinations of essays and other college work, jobs and the small time gap between protests, limits the ability to respond quickly.
