THIS MONTH MARKS six years since the first major Covid-19 restrictions were implemented in Ireland.

Many third-level institutions across the world moved to remote or hybrid working models for the terms that followed. Now, students are seeking compensation for a loss of educational experience.

A law firm said last week it has been “inundated” with emails from Irish students querying whether they could be entitled to compensation after their college experience was significantly disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Phoenix Law, which is based in Belfast and operates both north and south of the border, has already launched a group action on behalf of students at Northern Irish universities.

The law firm believes that universities breached their contracts with students entitling them to in-person tuition, access to campus facilities and a comprehensive educational experience.
