The €20 you spend on a taxi, nightclub entry, booze etc on a night out.

I hate to break it to you but I neither have the time nor the income to do any of that, I can count the number of pints I've had since the beginning of the semester quite easily on one hand, a grand total of 3.

I was there. The trouble started after i left. There was a great turn out, and really great atmosphere.

And for the record it was the culchies drinking. Didn't see any dubliners drinking.

Too busy injecting Heroin, I guess.

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love Is A Battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love Is A Battlefield

hehehe......

Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot. The government will have no issue whatsoever hiking students fees up because they looked like a bunch of morons today, p1ssed on beer by lunchtime, singing old football songs and chants (and not even properly), launching cans at government buildings, forcing businesses to close up shop for the afternoon. I can't imagine much empathy for their plight after this.

Very badly organised protest. Students Unions have a lot to answer for.

Remarkable, the number of iphones and designer hoodies in those videos. Guess we'll be seeing less of them next year.

You're forgeting that some of us don't even have the cash to go to nightclubs etc. Some people don't have all their exspenses paid for by mammy and daddy.

I had the same problem in college. I got a job. It really helped.

The only people i saw drinking at the march were culchies. I know cause i heard their accents. It was like they made a day out of their trip to dublin.

Your ignorance make's me happy!

In fairness, you'd not want your wain walking through Dublin today.

There were paedos, bullies, mad-dogs, thieves and scumbags back in the 70's and 80's too. The bigger kids watched out for the smaller ones.

So you have zero social life currently and won't do for the duration of your course?

Does your college not provide you with internet? Few quid saved right there.

I have a social life alright but i cant afford for that to revolve around drink. And yes there is wifi on campus but I dont live on campus, my sh1tty hovel in the north inner city suits the budget better.

Because not having to pay for the internet is going to help you save enough money to put yourself through college?

Disarray on the streets, disarray on the markets (bonds interest rate up to another record high 7.45%) and disarray in the Dail.

This government has to go. Get them out out out.

What extra twenty quid is that? The one that goes towards putting a roof over my head or the one that gets the groceries? Or is it the one that goes towards my 60e textbooks? The internet access I require to access course material? My ESB bill? Heating? Clothing?

Give me a break with the idiotic comments about students with infinite amounts of disposable income buying infinite quantities of dutch to drink in their infinite down-time.

Do what everyone else does when they can't afford something

work for it, get a loan for it, or do without.

It's sad to see what started as a legitmate protest be discredited due to the actions of the minority of people at the protest.

true, the gardai should be ashamed of themselves

A job paying mininum wage won't provide for full college fees, bills, text books, rent etc.

Answer for everything.

So if it did come in what would you do? Drop out or fond the extra twenty from your social life or other means?

I put myself through college through my own hard work, not a penny from the goverment not a penny from the tax payer not a penny from mammy and daddy.

No silver spoon here. Had to go through private college due to not getting enough points to do my course. Worked two jobs to pay the 3500 a year without so much as wandering near the Dail.

Work for it? It's very hard to get a job at the moment.

Loan? I don't know any bank that gives loans out to people who are unemplooyed and whose family are on the brink of bankruptcy.

Do without? That's hardly going to get us the 'skilled' work force we need to help get the country back on track.

I agree with that tbh having seen it first hand. Won't happen in Ireland now at this stage though.

You're not entitled to jack shít. You're only entitled to third level education if you can afford whatever the state charges for it. Some people have this crazy notion that third level education is a right. It's not.
