Would enact occupied territories bill – no answer from FG or FF. After the soundbites recently on this bill, I am not a bit surprised.
I would also tick all the boxes to make USI think I’m sound
So there was no answer given by any party which will be in government
Sinn Fein in giving Yes answers to what the audience wants to hear shocker.
So, what you are saying is that FG, FF and the Greens are the only parties with the integrity to not pander to this bullshit?
Why are Labour always pragmatic? It’s like they don’t want to lie and deceive.
Nothing on getting voting rights for the rest of third level students in the Seanad?
Very light on detail on housing.
Seem very narrow issues that USI is talking about.
Affecting a minority of students instead of the big issues.
fund 3rd level courses through the medium of the Irish language??? sorry, but money is not just going to create persons suitable to teach those subjects in irish.. you need expertise+language+teaching skills.
not everything can be just developed by throwing money at it.
if teaching 3rd level in Irish is ever going to be achieved, then that is a process of many years that leads to that.
so far, all the funding for Irish language has achieved (outside of primary and secondary education) is a bunch of leaflets in irish and some radio commercials.
something like this will take many years and many governments.
FFG really do only appeal to the dinosaurs of this island. The change is coming.
Does anyone get the feeling that this sub is rife with political activists at the moment? Feels like all the parties have their minions in the subs fighting their cause. Interesting to see what feels like campaigning in a lot of these threads.
Shocker! FFG don’t give a fuck about young people
What a bunch of stupid questions.
As someone who just finished a PhD, €28000 would have been very helpful and given the hours involved is still underpaid.
FFG had over 14 years between them – if they haven’t done it by now – they are never going to do it!
Sinn Fein in the North: Ban trans healthcare for kids
Sinn Fein in the South: vote for us, we’ll make it easier to access trans healthcare.
Really?
Some parties seem to operate like Oprah Winfrey…..or the Late Late Toy Show.
“There’s one for everybody in the audience”.
I get there’s only a limited number of questions you can ask, but I’m not seeing the point in asking questions about what the parties would fund without asking how they would fund it. Sure they could promise you anything, but what’s a promise without a proposed funding mechanism to deliver it?
SF
Fund 3rd level courses through Irish?
If there is a single young person going into third level that has only the Irish language and not English, then that person was seriously abused during their upbringing. Not a single person living with only Irish could possibly be a net taxpayer They’d be as well off learning Kryptonian from Star Trek.
Might be a stupid question, but what is the contribution charge?
What an utterly pointless exercise .
Student groups asks for utopian wish list duh
– parties of probable Gov smartly don’t answer, cost implications for this enormous
– Parties who will never go into Gov say yes yes yes , who gives a shit about tax payer money or efficiency just spend spend spend …
Are USI 3rd level or 3rd class in the brains department ….?
The gas bit is people thinking politicians answers matter, they pretty much lie every time they speak
I’m not eligible to vote, but if I was, I wouldn’t vote for any party that refuses to answer this many questions. Major red flag
Wow SF, Social Dems, and People Before Profits are consistent. Does SF stick by that they say when they get into power?
Nice to see labour had the balls to say no to something. Very easy to say yes before the election. Ah sure whatever you like we will do.
Right so the two biggest parties, the only two with any realistic chance of forming a government didn’t participate?
Great survey USI….
They can answer yes all they want when are they actually gonna do these things is a whole other matter tbh.
This sub has gone to hell, yeah, nobody expects SF, Labour or PBP to keep all their promises but I’d rather give them a chance to prove me wrong rather than vote the same lads who I know will just fuck me over.
Honestly, other than affordable housing for students and phasing out the student contribution, these would actually push me to vote against these parties, not for.
3rd level courses through Irish? What is this cloud cuckoo land? The only 3rd level course that should be taught through Irish is Irish gaelic literature, and even then it’s dubious. Most of our academics are foreign or can’t speak Irish beyond a primary school level, and the number of students whose Irish is good enough to be able to learn at an academic level is in the thousands at best. There wouldn’t be enough to fill a single course.
It’s proposals like this that lead people to think a political party isn’t serious…
So the USI is where the Shinner bots are made?
Kinda feel like Sinn Féin’s standard response is “yeah no worries, we’ll do that”. Knowing that, they will never actually have to do “that”
One Green Party gobshite turned up to my door and had no real answer for anything. This absolutely tracks.
As for Stand For anything 😒
A while back I did something I’ve never done before, read a political manifesto (by Sinn Fein). Basically they were promising to do literally everything. Here we have another example of that, yes to everything. I’m abroad so out of Irish politics, are they legit or shameless populists?
SF/SD/PbP will grt my vote in some order. FF/FG can suck it.
