A group of students occupied the offices of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council today calling for grants to be paid on time. They were also calling for an increase in the income thresholds so that more students can avail of grants.

The council security who were initially irate calmed down after calling the Gardai who were in no mood to take on the students. The activists have been promised a meeting with senior council officials next week.
