If you are a UL college student consider yourself lucky. Our neighbours down in Waterford Institute of Technology won't be getting their results any time soon. The lecturers have been instructed by the TUI not to give them their exam results. It has stemmed from a row over pay. Sources, i.e. my sister and a friend have told me that they may be forced to take strike action. While some lecturers have offered their sympathy and are more than willing to offer 'unofficial' results, this is not good enough. Original results are due to be released on the 2nd of February. It's hard to get around why students are being punished for a dispute that they have no control over. Like us, they pay 1500 euro in registration fees for quality education. In this day and age such a dispute should be promptly settled. Students will vent their anger. You can't keep a gagging order on them all. The next time you 'f' the college till kingdom come, think about W.I.T.
Hoping your dispute comes to an end soon guys. Waiting for exam results is hard enough, without having added pressure. I'm sure when they finally come, you guys will party hard.
Until next time,
D.K

The relevance to journalism in this post is questionable. But a good story none the less. Were are the rest of the bloggers though? This is like texting myself, and then replying to my own texts to pretend I'm popular. TF
