    The SU Organised a protest outside the synergy centre against Minister Batt O'Keefe. There was a decent turnout and Mr O'Keefe sped out of Tallaght as fast as he could once his photo was taken.

    Good call. As far as I know they are organising a bus to and from. I may have just made that up though. But I think there is one.

    Pretty much all of the above except for university status as well as his proposals to bring in fees for third level. I think it was a general demonstration of discontent from students. Im not sure how many were there "for the craic" but maybe it will show our government that we are not pleased and intend to make our voices heard at the next elections!

    Fair play to you guys. I see too much footage on TV of him and people shaking their hands and acting as if they're royalty.

    there is no such political party as fine fail.
    if you mean fianna fail then everyone should be protesting against them, not just students.
    or just dont vote for them in the next election, not even a 2nd, 3rd, or any other choice........
