Union of Students of Ireland President Gary Redmond said he is saddened by the actions of a minority of protestors in Dublin city centre today.

Mr Redmond said the occupation of the Department of Finance by a number of protestors was not representative of the USI.

He said that many of the clashes with gardaí occurred during the USI address to protestors on Merrion Square.

Gary Redmond said the actions of protestors engaged in a sit-down protest outside Leinster House were also not condoned by the USI.

Seems that the student union leadership is the same as all other union leadership in this country, totally subservient to state power.

I'm sure there'll be a lot more widescale protest in Ireland in the next few years, after the scale of the recently announced cuts.
