 Aramark. The American company privately contracted by the Irish government to run three direct provision centers received 5.5 million euro in funding last year. Recently the University of Limerick decided to boycott Aramark catering services on campus after a mother-in-direct provision who's also a UL student was refused milk and bread for her sick child. After the announcement of the boycott flyers from Aramark entitled the facts began to show up on campus defending the company. This also happened last semester in Trinity College Dublin when students decided to boycott the catering services backed by Aramark there. I spoke to UL student Clodagh Gurran who's article for UL's student paper on fuckle received national media attention. In a news recently there was a case of a woman who was denied food and milk for her baby and she is a current UL student and I made national news and that's a direct provision center that's close to Limerick is Conbound Trenchurch. Basically we're boycotting Aramark because students don't feel comfortable sponsoring that kind of mistreatment and that kind of behavior and if we can't support our own students then who can we support really? By responding in any shape or form be it verbally or by pamphlet like by getting their caterers and their birth certificates to hand out these pamphlets it shows that our voices are being heard and that they do feel the pressure they're feeling the effect of this boycott or as they wouldn't have felt the need to respond but I think students are wiser and no pamphlet is going to like distract students from the truth that they are playing such a huge role in the mistreatment of vulnerable people basically. The silence on the issue was deafening and I was sick of it and like I work around focus so I had the platform to voice this opinion and I'm just happy that I was facilitating discussion.
