Sinn Feín support Fighting Fee's!

    Looks like my local Sinn Fein TD from Louth supports the student have a read, every1 should be supporting sinn fein they rock!




    A chara

    I am writing to confirm my support for the USI campaign. Our party's
    spokesperon
    on Education, Seán Crowe TD, has written to Colm Jordan, the
    President of USI,
    to state on the record that when students take to the streets they
    do so with
    the full backing of Sinn Féin and to remind him of our absolute
    commitment to
    the principle of free education for all.

    The more aggressive and high profile protest actions of USI this year
    have been
    a refreshing and welcome development and I have no doubt it will play a
    key role
    in advancing the agenda of all who advocate a fair and inclusive
    education
    system.

    The introduction of free fees was not the solution the government
    of the day
    represented it as. It has done little for many of the young people
    attempting to
    enter university from some of the poorest parts of this state, while
    making it
    easier for some. But it was a step in the right direction. It was a
    move towards
    a fair and open system of education. It cannot be expected to be
    the sole
    solution to tackling inequality in Irish education.

    We need massive increases in state support for students to bring the
    grant in
    line with social welfare levels and we need purpose built and
    state funded
    student accommodation to tackle the ongoing student accommodation
    crisis. These
    are all problems that were identified years ago and about which the
    government
    has done little.

    Students are expected to live on the poverty line while this government
    refuses
    point blank to consider a fairer taxation system and a more just
    redistribution
    of wealth. When students take to the streets on the 5th they will do so
    with the
    full support of Sinn Féin and, I am sure, the support of hundreds of
    thousands
    of people across the state who support the development of a fair and
    inclusive
    education system.

    I think that puppet properly represents my beliefs, NO I believe THAT puppet represents my beliefs.

    WAIT A MINUTE, its the same hand controlling both puppets.

    It's all just words and any political party can do the same, it's not until I see some action that I will be swayed by a party.
