I went to University in Ireland from '86 to '90. My fees were 1500+ punts per year back then. So now they're going to be 3000 Euros which is still cheaper than what I had to pay adjusting for conversion and inflation.
I had to work every summer to pay for it and I didn't qualify for a grant as my single parent's nurse salary of 14K was a couple of quid above the cutoff.

Pack of fecking tossers - the pubs are gonna be jammers this evening, was 30 mins late picking up my 5 year old becuase of them, i have never been late for picking my kids up and now am gonna have to brave the traffic chaos theyve created to get into work. If i see one of them and their stupid yellow tshirts i might try and run them over. That'll make me feel better.

You're man on the dutch gold

Throwing stuff at the Gardaí and laughing at hitting them in the head and then they wonder why things get rough? Maybe colleges need a bit of pruning. Clearly any idiot can get in.

well maybe spend less on drink and you might save up part of the fee??

FreudianSlippers · 03-11-2010 05:30PM

They do realise that there will be the ability to take out relatively low interest loans on these amounts as well... They don't have to drop out :rolleyes:

€3000 euro from students in the age bracket with the highest rate of unemployment?

Gunsfortoys · 03-11-2010 05:31PM

LOL at your man with the can of dutch gold.:D

johnny_ultimate · 03-11-2010 05:32PM

Glad I didn't end up going into town today then!

While I agree with the protesting, considering our country's a bit of a laughing stock at the moment, I don't think 'rioting' is the most effective way of getting your point across. I'm curious to see how bad things actually are once the over enthusiastic twittering dies down. Still, force should only be used if there was genuine trouble a-brewin'. Given the amount of people that seem to have been marching, I'm sure there were probably a handful of troublemakers in the group...

I also would've thought that for the people who will have to pay it that their parents would be fairly easily able to get such a loan, for the extra grand a year or so it would be for them. But hey, what do I know?

Fair amount of ignorant posts in this thread.

Maybe you should tweet for him to go somewhere quieter? Rather than staying and looking for another smack.

Well talking about it on twitter ain't the way to do it.

You have no idea how much I loathe those kind of people. At least once a week in the computer room I'll hear a few girls saying how broke they are then follow it up with what they did the previous weekend and how they'll only be able to go out once the weekend coming. While sipping their 2.50 cup of coffee.

ugh I hate these people too!A while ago this one was b#tchin to me that she had no money left for rent this month and she has to call daddy to get more money.Maybe if you didnt buy 400 euro bags every week and drink like a fish you would have enough money for rent you fcukin twerp..

I hope the guards gave them a good hiding. Throwing cans is fucking stupid and I'd like to see someone get caught for it. Fast forward a few years when they have a degree and a criminal record and can't get an interview because of it. Assholes...

No.

I'm for if the familiy/student can afford it, pay it, if they can't, get the grant.

But turning up at a protest looking for the tax payer to pay for your education while drinking cans of dutch gold while the tax payer works is f*cking down right retarded, I'm sorry.

2500, an increase of 1000 or 20 quid a week. I know plenty around who if they cut down to only one or two cups of coffee a day could cover that pretty easily.

In fairness it's all you parents picking up and dropping off your little darlings from school that cause all the traffic chaos. If you lot got off the roads and stopped wasting everyone else time with your pandering then getting in and out of the city might be an almost tolerable experience for the rest of us.

Don't underestimate mob rule. A handful of troublemakers can become a much larger group very quickly.

It's funny actually, was at a mate's house for his graduation the other night and he had most of his class around. It was the first time in a year that I'd been in a group of people my age where most people had a non-touchscreen phone. Don't see many of them in Trinity. :pac:

Most likely, just takes a couple of dozen ****ers to get a few thousand in the ****.

Indeed, it's a shame because this many people could make a (non-violent) protest work if they actually put their minds to it. And laid off the Dutch Gold.
