University of Galway SU president backs calls to waive third-level fees for Palestinians

The president of the student's union at University of Galway is backing calls for third-level fees for Palestinians to be waived. 

Faye Ní Dhomhnaill says it's not fair that those fleeing war in Ukraine have their international fees waived - but those fleeing war in Gaza do not. 

The fees typically amount to between €10 thousand and €30 thousand per year. 

Faye told John Morley people genuinely fleeing war - whether from Ukraine or Palestine - should be given opportunities.
