Well this is something we like to see.
In an era of cutbacks, squeezing and relentless chicanery, students are sticking up for their rights – and they're doing so in thousands.
People have been coming from all over the country to join the protest in Dublin, which is soon to culminate at Leinster House, and they're sending a very clear message: education is a right, not a privilege.
Just look at the size of those crowds!
