STUDENT MOVEMENT PROTESTS AGAINST FEES IN THE CITY

Date Published: 27-Nov-2008

Students opposed to the Government’s education cuts say a movement against them has been set in motion.

A large group of students protested outside a MEP’s office in the city this afternoon.

Over a hundred activists from FEE, the organisation set up by students to protest against the re-introduction of third level fees, began the march from NUI Galway to Prospect Hill at lunchtime today.

From there they walked with banners and signs through Eyre Square and onto the constituency office of MEP Seán O Neachtain.

Students at the protest say this is just the start of a movement against the re-introduction of third level fees.
