State of the Nation: The weekly address from T-Shock Edna Kenny

State of the Nation: The weekly address from T-Shock Edna Kenny

By on May 13, 2012 in Entertainment, Politics

    Dear Friends, I address to you on this very sad and momentous day. Europe has lost a great leader. The reign of Nickerless Sarkey has come to an end. He may have been short in stature but he had the ego of a giant, Napoleon complex blah blah blah. To be honest, Nickerless probably did not help his campaign when he told the people of France that his opponent would usher in a festival of spending. Shur feckin voters, like yourselves, would love the idea of a festival of spending (If it’s [...]

Studenty Sunday: Random Edition

Studenty Sunday: Random Edition

By on April 22, 2012 in Features

Every week Roisin Peddle takes a look at ten stories making the headlines here at Studenty.me. One of the silliest ads around at the moment is the one where the skydive instructor tells his bewildered skydivers to pull on the sheep clock which release their rubber duck and he’ll see them on the cupcake. In this spirit, I present a wide, diverse and even disparate group of articles for your edification this Sunday. (Can they tell I’ve ran out of ideas yet? Well, not if you don’t tell them- Ed). 1.

And, in fairness, its hard not to be seduced by the righteous indignation of a ‘Full Time Taxi Driver’, at 4:30 in the morning with an epic cargo of lager and Baby Guinnesses on board, as he rails against alleged abuses by ethnic groups and others in his chosen profession.

What the hell is a ‘fiscal compact’?

What the hell is a ‘fiscal compact’?

By on April 6, 2012 in News

Nearly two weeks ago, An Taoiseach Enda Kenny announced the date for the upcoming referendum on the EU fiscal compact treaty. It’ll be May 31, a Thursday, always an inconvenient day for students. It’s fair to say that most of the talk around the referendum is like double-dutch to those of us without degrees in economics. So what exactly are we voting on next month? What is a ‘fiscal compact’? Good question. The fiscal compact is basically a name for the treaty which was signed by all EU nations apart [...]
