Student Grants


 With the Student grant’s (SUSI) now closed there has been serious failures to protect the most vulnerable in society. Being a student myself I can see what has happened on the ground , the Government has attacked the student’s with this savage increase of €250 which will also increase a further €500 over the coming 2 years which will impact heavily on them. This is one of many broken promise’s the government have broken.

 Many Student waited three months for their grants which has caused many of them to go without facilities in college and living off little or no food with many relying on Food Boxes from Student Unions. It’s Imperative that this must not happen again as student’s can’t go through this stress and hardship again in the coming years.
  
 I will fight for this issue  on behalf of all the student’s to best of my ability, Fianna Fáil will stand up to the government on this issue. This is a cruel injustice and I call on the Government to holt plans to increase student fees.
