 What do we want? Free education. When do we want it? Now. This is one of many chants heard at last week's Education Is March. The march was organised by the union of students in Ireland in order to protest against the possible introduction of student loans. We're pretty pleased with today. There are thousands more people than we expected to come out. I think that you can see the whole way down. The entire road was absolutely jammed full. I think people are really motivated now to go back to their homes, to go back to their parents, their friends, their families and to start talking about how education is a public good, it's a public service and should be publicly funded. No it's no it's no education cuts. DCU was one of the leading colleges during the protest. Student Union Welfare Officer Cody Byrne organised an encouraged participation of DCU students in the event which included bus transportation to and from the march. Other colleges included ITB, NUIG, NCAD and more. Upon arrival a state had been set up by the union of students in Ireland and a demonstration held and hosted by one of the rubber bandits. Speakers included the president of the USI themselves and an admin staff worker from Cork Institute of Technology and the head of the secondary school union of Ireland and a TY student.
