Support access to employment for Non-EEA PhD students' spouses in Ireland.
Allowing spouses to work helps alleviate financial strain, supports academic focus, and helps stress.

Sign the petition to promote fairness and inclusivity.

Despite promising a stipend increase to €25,000 per annum for @SEAI_ie funded researchers, members in @MaynoothUni @UCC @uniofgalway and @tcddublin have yet to receive this.

All such pay disparities and underfunding of PhD researchers must end.

These are the children who were living in the tents before Israeli airstrikes burned them to the ground in Rafah.

They don’t know which children are still alive from this video.

‘Israeli universities are complicit in #GazaGenocide & unis that fund/engage with them must be held accountable. We can declare all our universities apartheid free & remake higher education for liberation. There’s no academic freedom until it applies to all of us’ @mayaywind 1/2

Come and join tomorrow to meet your colleagues! @UniOfGalwaySU

[Grace O'Sullivan @GraceOSllvn]

The bombing of Rafah is an atrocity and a direct breach of the orders of the International Court of Justice.

Still a deafening silence from @vonderleyen and EU leaders.

Enough is enough, we must end the EU-Israel Association Agreement and implement an arms embargo now.

[PWO Galway @pwo_ug]

Massive step and so much respect for our colleagues in Dublin

[PWO TCD @PWO_TCD]

After two years of campaigning and protesting, PGR rights are still systematically overlooked in Trinity. We are preparing to go on strike. #PGR_STRIKE

Who needs a Creativity Institute with all this creativity already on display? @PWO_Ireland @UniOfGalwaySU @uniofgalway

@uniofgalway Together with @UniOfGalwaySU & BeyondBordersSoc, there will be a #Palestine Solidarity Discussion session in the Hub from 12-2

[PWO Galway @pwo_ug]

Postgrad workers @uniofgalway will be joining today's Global General Strike in solidarity with #Palestine. We call on our members to join us & to wear a symbol of international solidarity.

[PWO Ireland @PWO_Ireland]

Worker and Student Strike for Palestine.

As the horrors continue to rain down on Gaza, many political leaders and states continue to show their support for the Israeli apartheid regime. 1/n

[Cllr Conor Reddy 🇵🇸 @ConorReddy95]

We'll believe when we see it @MichealMartinTD - pay increases for some but status quo for others is not "support"

Give us ALL a living wage for the work we do. Support our call for worker status + access to rights all other workers enjoy, then we'll talk.

#PGRsDeserveBetter

[PWO Galway @pwo_ug]

Today's protest🪧@uniofgalway has called on @DeptofFHed to immediately increase PhD stipends as an urgent interim measure & to incorporate the recommendations of the #PhDNationalReview into next year's budget. Read our press release below #PGRsDeserveBetter

[PWO Galway @pwo_ug]

📌 PRESS RELEASE: We are protesting for better PhD pay & conditions @uniofgalway, previously known as #NUIG, at 11 am in front of the James Hardiman Library. The protest coincides with @PWO_Ireland's march to the Dáil. Join us & stand up for postgrad rights! 🪧 #PGRsDeserveBetter
