you are in Clare, college is in Galway. Why can't they drive, and work to pay for their transport ?

Except the state has to bail out universities, pay their right on academics massive salaries for doing very little

Fr Stone is making way too much sense for this show

Don't be talking sense. A car would cost more per year to run than the thousand euro this issue is over.

If you look at the amount of international students in Irish college's you can see how cheap it is, we pay nothing in comparison to them and it's still cheaper for them to study and pay for accommodation here than it is in their countries.

I think college fee's alone for international students (depending on course) are near 30k without accommodation.

Maybe she is a L driver so can't drive on her own.

Or maybe they can't afford to buy, tax, insure, maintain and fuel another car.

But what are the universities doing with all that money then?

Why do they need more?

Did FG promise promise that?

Shame on you for believing it.

she was whining about the cost of accommodation. We have vans driving farther everyday for work. None of them need accommodation. Plenty of people here are driving to university in Cork and Limerick, both students and people working there

All this about college and I spent years trying to get mine to take on an apprenticeship, I've one left in secondary school who's thinking of studying teaching and I'm trying to push them to go into a trade, they reckon by 2030 plumbers will earn more than surgeons.

Trinity College Dublin Tuition (Continued)

Finally, those looking to major in Health Sciences, the Trinity College Dublin tuition has greater fluctuation. Depending on the program, the cost can range from €14,390 to €39,370/year for non-EU students. Clinical Speech and Language Studies is the most expensive program in this category.

Just when you thought DArcy couldn't br any duller.

He spent his holidays deciding to bring salad to work when he returned and bought a big lunchbox with a few compartments to hold it.

Christ I'd say I'd burst with the excitement if I didn't turn him off before he got onto Irelands oldest fridge.

there are plenty of college students managing to do that all by themselves. if the parents are happy enough for them to faf around for 3.5 months of the year, then they should have no complaints about funding all there college expenses. There is work there for everyone at the moment

There's a train from ennis to Galway gets in at 8am I believe, it's a bit of a drive from Clare to college in Galway even from north Clare, would be good to see trains utilised more, remember when that line opened it had low passenger numbers but it's steadily improved passenger wise

Just on that. As well as the massive salaries universities do something that really ticks me off and it's giving awards and even honorary degrees and honorary doctorates.

The same month I emmigrated because the country was broke and there were no jobs anywhere, UCD gave the James Joyce Award to noted California based skateboarder Tony Hawk.

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/skater-ramps-it-up-for-students/26526026.html

Now, I like Tony Hawk. I own most of his games, and I did a bit of skateboarding myself for a while, but why in the name of Jehovah are they giving the James Joyce Award to someone for his 'contributions for skateboarding'??

I know someone will say, "But its only a bit of glass, whats the big deal", but, it's a ceremony, probably a fancy dinner for everyone afterwards. They probably flew him over and put him in a swanky hotel too.

Meanwhile also the universities: We are low on money.

Edit: And hey, if it was only the odd one, I wouldn't mind so much, but UCD alone, gave out 12 Honourary degrees in 2024. Only 7 in 2023. In 2022, they gave out 22.

To be fair, Irelands oldest fridge does have a very interesting humming sound.

Does RTE still have an archive online with all of the Livelines going back years? I do seem to remember finding one in the mid 2010s. It was a very basic FTP-looking page, i.e. white background and a massive stack of links that each direct to a corresponding audio file, something like Liveline 07-12-05.mp3.

I remember using to go back and listen to the Liveline where the Ireland football team had only managed to beat San Marino 2-1, prompting public outcry and they got a rather unwell Bobby Robson on the phone to take the flack.

PBH seems to have a lower tolerance of loyalist guff than his predecessor, who would probably find a way to blame Sinn Féin.

BPKS

Will Liveline cover the story about Aisling Murphys boyfriend successfully suing the BBC for defamation?

Atlantic Dawn

Surprised we don't fund kerb painting apprenticeships for loyalist celebrations in July…eh better not go checking that one 🤣

Will they put a painting of Joe up on the wall when he becomes President?
