This statement says exactly fuck all. I absolutely agree that the financial barrier for entry to college is now insurmountable for many folks, that’s a given. But there is no hint of a plan to correct it. No financial breakdown of where the issue comes from or how to resolve it. It’s clickbait.
It doesn’t take a graduate to be able to tell you that the country is financially fucked as a student or low income earner, but the core suggestion being a “different economic paradigm” offers absolutely nothing tangible.
Handy for engament with LinkedIn, fuck all value in terms of any kind of course correction.
So brave.

My own thoughts
He is 100% on the button, existence of food banks is an damning indictment on society. They will exist in the short term . Sickening how students are fucked over
On him charging for mental health talks, it doesn’t sit right with me. He’s a decent lad though

Since when in the fuck is Niall Breslin an academic? I can count on one hand the amount of peer reviewed research I’ve had published and it’s more than he’s had and I’ve more qualifications than him , and work in an educational field but would not say I’m remotely an academic.
He’s completely diminishing the word and doing a massive disservice to the idea of mental health academic study

Accommodation is grossly expensive however food banks for students? Is it really that bad? Can kids not afford to feed themselves and are starving?
I’m pretty sure my diet was beans etc and if there was a food bank in college I definitely would’ve gone to it every week but I wouldn’t think I really needed it considering I went out every week also.

It’s never worked. Since the Republic formed things have never been in a good, equitable way for all.
Students always struggled, job market has always been competitive, housing has always been an issue.
We’re a joke of country with a good marketing department.

Irish Universities aren’t geared at the Irish market anymore. Extortionate Non- Eu fees and extortionate accommodation charges are raking in the cash for UCD via its foreign students. Its no coincidence that it has a strong presence in Asia – all those single child families with generational wealth from grandparents being passed down means they’ve no problem payimg these fees and is still cheaper than the US.As a student there from 2016-2020 I watched multiple carparks be turned into lucrative camous accommodation. Dare I say it but government intervention is needed.
