Great news from @PWO_MU. Non-EEA PhD researchers across Ireland face discrimination in the form of additional obstacles and expenses. We are committed to leveling the playing field. Unions work, getting involved works!

Here's hoping that with a new minister comes a fresh start to @DeptofFHed's engagement with workers in higher education. The crises of exploitation and precarity in the sector have not gone away, and need urgent attention @lawlessj. @ifut @TheUSI
Congratulations to @lawlessj on being appointed as Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

The #PfG released this week includes a weak commitment to increase supports for PhD researchers. Overworked and underpaid postgraduate researchers cannot live off vague promises. We need real action towards a living wage now! #ResearchIsWork

While some universities provide clarity on the raising of @Researchirel stipends to 25K and promise to match this for internal scholarships, other universities leave their researchers in the dark. Clarity and an end to pay disparity is needed now!

This article from November highlights the lived experience of living off a wholly inadequate PhD stipend in Dublin. "It’s not easy at all, even though I don’t have children or even a dog [...] bedlam like this is unlike any place else in the EU."

Thanks to @TheUSI for this useful information on the stances of Irish political parties on higher education! No word from @FineGael @fiannafailparty or @greenparty_ie on whether they support increasing the stipends of our extremely underpaid PhD researchers? 🤔🤔

As #GE25 approaches, we want to know whether candidates and parties support the rights of Irish higher education's most precarious workers. 🗳️ @FineGael @fiannafailparty @sinnfeinireland @greenparty_ie @labour @SocDems @pb4p do you support better conditions for PhD researchers?
