A few years ago in IT a lot of ones would have been < a year in multiple places and you wouldn't bat an eyelid it's so common. Significant rounds of redundancies in multiple places have put paid to that though.

Lovely

Hopefully that doesn't go ahead. Doesn't look like it will.

Who can afford £9k per annum for fees? It would make a third level education completely unaffordable.

Is that not what it is elsewhere? (If you're Scottish and go to university in Scotland it's free. I don't know if same applies in England or wales though I doubt it.

If they add a fiver to the current price of vapes they'll generate more money than that
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

We got away extremely lucky. My son is studying at UL and is paying €2-3k a year in fees and my daughter is in the 3rd year of a 5 year MEng degree at the University of Edinburgh, because we couldn't prove she was British  :P, she was charged as an EU student £1900 pa compared to the normal £9450! I think Brexit put paid to that loophole.

Is rent/accommodation prices not an issue in the south ? I know it is here too
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Rent/accommodation is very expensive in the south. Although I believe Limerick (c€6k) isn't as bad as Dublin or Galway. Edinburgh is fairly expensive too.
