Students Stage a Short Occupation to Highlight The Fact that They Are Against Third Level Fees

More than 50 students stormed the gates of the Department of Education in Dublin this afternoon, in protest against any reintroduction of third level fees.

The students ran past security and into the grounds of the building to highlight their anger.

Gardai swiftly moved the protesters outside the building, but students have said they will camp outside Leinster House tomorrow night to continue their protest.

Th Union of Students in Ireland said the protesters were forced to take action after the Minister for Education ignored their request to meet them.
