    I have a quick question if somone could answer it for me.

    I contacted the TCD undergraduate admissions office and asked them if I have an undergraduate degree from a fee paying private college could I do another undergraduate degree in TCD and still avail of the "free fees" scheme. I was told that yes I could as long as I have a letter from the college were I did my first degree stating that I paid for the course and didn't receive any money from the HEA.

    All fine and dandy at this point but I put the same query to UCD undergraduate admissions and was told that I couldn't get the "free fees." Which of the colleges is correct?

    I sent an email to the department of Ed but haven't gotten a reply yet. Anyone have aclue on this?

    I don't know the answer to your question, but I would suggest asking at your local citizens advice bureau.

    The department of Ed got back to me and told me that I can't get the free fees scheme which begs the question- why did TCD tell me I wouldn't have to pay fees?

    don't ask, don't tell

    keep your previous education cards close to your chest
    at the end of the day no need to nail your colours to the mast if they are going to hit you for six

    True but I probably wouldn't get away with it.
