    Joe is 100% correct. And I'm serious

    Let people take a test at the end of first year!!!!!!! This is how it works in the USA - your grades in first two years determine what programme you go into, and so you speicalize in years 3 and 4

    Joe has found the solution - he speak imminent sense, and Joe McHigh should be listening.

    We could do with some more medical course places for a start. I think Joe is probably right here in a way.

    And all you need is about €5billion to fund expansion of colleges to accommodate them and the staff to teach them.

    Joe is right

    This creates a meritocracy for all - and the end of the private education industry

    People should go to college based on raw IQ not how they do in a D4 test.

    No he's not. And it's very simple.

    If you can only teach and train say 200 Medical Students in a year and 5,000 people want to do it how do you accommodate the other 4,800? Many courses are ridiculously over-subscribed - that's why we have a points system.
