free fees initiative!

Am I right in saying that all students starting 3rd level undergraduate courses are entitled to free fees? Or is that means tested against income like the maintenance grant?

Yes but they have to pay a fee called a student contribution of 2000. Also in order to be eligible there are a number of rules.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
