Boston College students went on the march to protest cuts in grants and the Government’s new ‘training initiative programme’ 40 years ago.

Student’s Union president Jane Clark said the march from the college to the Municipal Building and County Hall was part of the nationally-organised Grant Action Week.

Jane said students felt they were getting a ‘raw deal’.
