The Minister for Education, Noel Dempsey, is visiting NUI Galway on Friday morning. A protest has been called for 10 am at the quod to voice opposition to Dempsey's plans to reintroduce fees.

When Dempsey visits UCG on Friday morning it is essential that he is given the welcome that he deserves. Dempsey is intent in reintroducing college fees, while he has consistenly failed to widen access to education or to increase the pathetic grant.

When he steps foot in UCG, on Friday morning, it is essential that we make our views known to him.

Spread the word. Protest at the quod at 10 am on Friday morning.

If Dempsey wants to block our access to college - we'll block his access to our college.
