Blindboy Boatclub On Ireland's Education System

Описание: Thousands of students took to the streets of Dublin today calling for more Government funding for third-level education and protesting against an introduction of college fees.

Chants calling for free education and no college fees were heard as the students marched down O’Connell Street and the North Quays towards the square close to Government Buildings.

Addressing the crowd, Blindboy Boatclub of The Rubberbandits said:

"One of the great things about Ireland is that in general we've always had kinda free access to education. That's one of the things that makes the country brilliant, so let's not turn into the other countries."

"Let's not create educational lines that are defined by class and how much money you have": http://jrnl.ie/3034957
