There is work yet to be done, but this is a great start. Considering the obligation to need health insurance as an international (non-EU/UK) researcher, a lot of our members and Maynooth University researchers were in a difficult position striving to find a suitable provider. ✊

Replying to @MaynoothUni
@MaynoothUni's leadership continue to show us whose interests they represent by platforming a state that is actively participating in Israel's genocide of Palestinians. More and more elite events like this, less and less democratic input from students and staff.

As the review process for the Hume Scholarship starts soon, we want to build a mandate for our demands. If you are staff or a PhD researcher at Maynooth, sign our petition to ensure the university knows what kind of outcome we want from this review! ✍️ chng.it/4HdnX96zch

This half a million euro tender for priority taxi services comes just off the back of attempts to completely scrap the already insufficient Hume scholarship for PhD research. University money should be spent on education and research, NOT unnecessary taxi services! 💸🚕🥲

Here's a tender for a taxi service for MU: 500k 20-30 minutes max wait, unless you are "priority staff" where "immediate taxi service must be provided with no wait time". Can't afford much needed staff, resources, scholarships... but taxis? Yeah. etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/pre…

After increasing certain PhD stipends by less than the recommended amount at last year's budget, @SimonHarrisTD promised that increases would continue yearly. Will @podonovan keep this promise next Tuesday? And will we see supports benefiting ALL postgrad researchers? 🤔
