 The march was organised by the union of students in Ireland and saw a number of approximately 20,000. They've done this in the UK, Australia and USA and it's failed to work in any of them countries. And it's disgusting that Irish governments even try and intrude into Ireland knowing that it does not work in other countries. It shows they have no respect for Irish students at all and we are here to get our voices heard and loud and clear that we're not in favour of it. TCU had approximately 500 people present and were joined by the likes of SligoIT, Trinity and GMIT. Groups from across Ireland voiced their concerns with chants and signs over the proposed introductions of student loans. The march concluded near Marion Square where a number of people gave speeches including the USI president. We are workers, we are teachers, we are parents, we are grandparents, we are here for our younger brothers and sisters, we are here for our nieces and nephews and we are here for our children. We are here to fight for the next generation's right to an accessible and affordable higher education system in this country and the fight will not stop today. Ireland already have the second highest college fees in the EU and the proposed introductions are raising serious objections. Kahamikahi, DZU TV News.
