hey, I'm doing the LC this year, I know it's forward thinking but there's no point applying for a course to find I can't accept due to the expense of living independently. I'm living in Limerick but wish to apply to DIT. I have one parent working and the other is not on any social welfare. what kind of grants am I eligible…

hey,

I'm living in Limerick but wish to apply to DIT. I have one parent working and the other is not on any social welfare. what kind of grants am I eligible for, the maintenance grant? if so how much would it be? how much aprox. is the basic living cost in Dublin rent/food/transport etc.?

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.
