The Week in Politics with Fergus Finlay
On Monday November 29th at 19.30 in Kane G19 the Philosoph will take a look back at the week in politics. Fergus Finlay, former Labour press secretary, adviser to Dick Spring and potential Presidential candidate will address the House on the current political crisis and recent political developments. With the IMF and EU in Dublin, a general election on the way and a budget nobody is certain will pass we hear from the man the Sunday Business Post termed "one of the great backroom operators of Irish political history, a strategist, tactician, and media briefer par excellence". There will also be an opportunity for the audience to address questions to the Labour party activist, chief executive of Barnardo's and Irish Examiner columnist or to share their views on the state of our nation.

That This House Would Reintroduce Third Level Fees
We saw riots in Dublin. Then London copied us! The USI are preparing for another march in Cork on December 1st. In the meantime the Budget looms ever closer and the EU and IMF hover. The Philosoph want to know what you think about the concept of reintroducing third level fees!
Third level education is a right, claim the opposition. We need to continue to provide free education in order to fuel our recovery with a"smart economy". On the other side we hear that the Universities, not alone the country, cannot keep going on the current level of funding. Is it a case that fees secure a better future for us all in the long term? Who is right? Who is thinking of their own interests? Who is thinking of the national interest? And who's interest are you going to act in? Join the Philosoph on Monday Novemebr 22nd at 19.30 in Kane G19 to explore these questions and more.
In proposition Dr Declan Jordan of the UCC Economics Department will address the House. A USI Officer will stand in opposition. The discussion will then be opened to the floor. Whether you want to observe or contribute it is up to you but what we will ensure is that you have a good time. With a topic so close to students hearts there will no doubt be many passionate speeches and stimulating arguments. And to top it all off we have organised free pizza in Sober Lane for afters.
