Deaglan de Breadun this morning suggests that higher registration fees are being planned for which could replace suggested increases in third level fees.

At present registration fees are about €980, but are likely to be "sharply increased".

Well that's one way around 3rd level fees, just call them something different.

All third level students should get a loan from the government which would then be repaid. No need for the tax payer to be burdened.

What happens if said student moves overseas?

Absolutely. It is bloody disgusting!

They should be persued for the money. Obviously they can refuse and there is niothing that can be done. But even people who move overseas have to come home some time.

I don't think anyone would object to big earners in this country pulling their weight more in terms of paying for state subsidised services.

It's a disgrace really that people who earn over 200,000 or even a 100,000 a year should get free fees for their children in university, get child support payments, and plenty more supports from the government.

It's time university fees were introduced for those who can afford them.

If they remain out of the country for 6 years the debt cannot be pursued further as there is a time limit for court action for debt recovery.

Exactly. As they do in Germany.

If the students do well (i.e. aren't complete wasters) they get something like a 20% deduction on their repayment. Paying back early also has incentives.

Re: the 6 year thing..... If I go abroad for 6 years with an overdraft then when I come home the money is mine?

Have a hard time believing that.

Double post.....
