USI welcomes protection of vulnerable students
USI President Joe O’Connor said: “This budget marks a turning point. After four cuts to the maintenance grant in four consecutive budgets, the Government has accepted that struggling students and families can take no more. Third level students across the country breathed a sigh of relief upon learning their grants will not be cut in yesterday’s budget. It is only right, times are tough on all citizens of this country but in particular students who struggle financially on a daily basis.
