    If you do a general course you're just extending the ourse by a year. Take Med and Accountancy - there's no general course you can do that will cover the syllabus for both in Year 1.

    As usual, this is ill thought out reflex horsemanure from Mr. Duffy.

    That is what Joe is saying. Of course you could have a general entry course for Med or Accountancy or whatever else. Far too many 2nd level students now apply for courses they have little idea about.

    Whatever you think about Duffy, remember he's a former student union leader and knows this stuff..

    Because the minister has better things to do than ring thousands of principals across the country?

    The Leaving Cert again??? Businesses closing down all over the country and this is the best liveline can do.

    They are covering up the the truth again. Throwing the audience a bit of obfuscation to distract from the real story.

    Leaving Cert students - You just have to sit it again next year in the worst case scenario, and you probably would have had to sit it twice anyway go the points you needed.

    Duffy is being absolutely ridiculous here. So he wants the broke state to pay the medical fees of all these people as well. Pay for all these thousands of kids to do medicine and then allow them all to f**k off to another country with Ireland stuck for the cost of their education.

    That's not what he's saying though. He's saying they should be allowed into whatever course they want.

    As usual, this is ill thought out reflex horsemanure from Mr. Duffy.

    Some of what he says makes sense, and I would agree that those who want to do medicine should be allowed to at least try first year. They might then go in a completely different direction, stick with it, or try another science course etc.

    As someone who lectures part-time in a University to say you're over-simplifying would be generous. You have to be trolling.
