This article from November highlights the lived experience of living off a wholly inadequate PhD stipend in Dublin. "It’s not easy at all, even though I don’t have children or even a dog [...] bedlam like this is unlike any place else in the EU." thejournal.ie/readme/spendin…

Other universities have matched the 25k increase for all PhDs, including those funded by schools and departments. Why is Trinity College Dublin not doing the same?

We need the government to do better for PhD researchers. A vague commitment to “increase supports” will not cut it when researchers are working for less than minimum wage. Department of Further and Higher Education Research Ireland
