Outrageous 👉“Today we call on the Irish government to raise PhD stipends so that we can afford to live in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis! We are currently not even paid minimum wage “ #payusenoughtolive #phdrights
The PhD system in Ireland is broken. We deserve to be paid a living stipend for the research that we do. #PayUsEnoughToLive so that the future of Irish research can flourish! Waqar Ahmed-USI VP Postgraduate Affairs TCD Students' Union 🇵🇸 #PhDVoice #AcademicTwitter Academic Chatter™
Brilliant Julie Marie (she/her) speaking truths today at the student walkout rally Trinity College Dublin in protest of below-minimum wage PhD wages and unsustainable cost of living. Simon Harris TD Darragh O'Brien hope you're seeing this #payusenoughtolive #phdrights
Shaakya Anand-Vembar (she/her) speaks for all of us here.
This review has come as a result of grassroots campaigning by PhDs, let's make sure our voices are heard in it.
Simon Harris TD must engage with @pgwa_ie and take action once review is completed.
#PayUsEnoughToLive
What a great turn out for the #USIWalkout today at UCC Students' Union . It’s outrageous that as a PhD researchers we work 40+ hours every week and we don’t even make minimum wage #PayUsEnoughToLive #CostOfLivingCrisis @PhdsPcau Union of Students in Ireland Norma Foley T.D @UCC
This payment for PhDs must be substantial. We wont benefit from tax credits for renters or some of the other COL measures but we are struggling
Significant this payment is offered, PhD campaigning has put this issue on the agenda, let's keep it up @pgwa_ie #PayUsEnoughToLive
After paying for my rent, bills and food I don’t have enough to afford healthcare. As someone with a chronic medical condition, that’s really scary #PayUsEnoughToLive #CostOfLivingCrisis #USIWalkout @PhdsPcau Union of Students in Ireland Norma Foley T.D
Tonight’s the first good night’s sleep I’ve gotten in a while. Been dreaming about a living wage for PhD researchers #PayUsEnoughToLive
Average PhD stipend: ~€16k
TD salary, before expenses or allowances: €102,204
TD salaries have increased several times since this govt took office. PhD stipends (for some) have been increased once in the last decade.

The government claims that research and innovation are important to the future of Ireland but time and time again they show that they have absolutely no respect or interest in those of us who are doing that research. (7/7)

In a cost-of-living crisis with rents and bills skyrocketing, PhD Researchers receive a yearly stipend of €18,500 max (less than minimum wage). Many PhD Researchers receive much less than this! #PayUsEnoughToLive

Today I spoke up for @PhDRights at the USI student walkout because Simon Harris TD needs to show that they are serious about funding education and research in Ireland! PhD researchers need to be paid a living wage to do their research efficiently #PayUsEnoughToLive @pgwa_ie
More meat on the Budget bones: €1,000 refund in this year’s third-level student contribution, retroactively reduced to €2k; a double payment for students on a maintenance grant (who don’t pay the above) and a cost-of-living payment for PhDs before Christmas Virgin Media News
