    I tried this. They don't give you money.

    Might be because I'm a paki though. With no Irish passport. Also lived here since I was 7. I'm 20 now.

    Were did you go to school?
    Private or public school?
    ANd are you an EU citizen?

    I think you may be eligible for a grant... The application forms are out now, my advice to you is to print 'em out, fill 'em out and get 'em in. Thats if your eligible. Have a look at the forms and that. Heres the link:http://www.studentfinance.ie/mp7232/maintenance-grant/index.html

    You've been here since you were 7 and you still haven't given you an Irish passport?
    And your parents obviously been working yeah?
    You guys probably contributed more then most people out there, you deserve the passport...
    They really should give grants and that to people like you...

    Have a look at the link and see if you are eligible for the grant.

    As for any other money, haha forigve me, but would you not be able to draw social welfare from the country your from? I think you can, I'm not sure, like maybe you can if you really need it and you are studying.

    Check out http://www.studentfinance.ie and see if you can get any social from here.

    One more thing ..
    I found that http://www.studentfinance.ie/mp7237/back-to-education-allowance/index.html


    what you guys think ? if i got the Jobseeker's Allowance after the holidays and then went on to that one there . For me it makes some sense , like i could maybe go to institute of education while reciving that one so it might cover up the costs . . .
    but ioe mentioned above is very expencive , could anyone suggest any good secondary school that does the repeat year in dublin , other than the ioe . But i mean GooD not "good" school, especially i need biology and chemistry teacher . Some good one . xd Thanks for any suggestions .:pac: @ @

    Not really sure about the grant thing but one excellent school I can recommend to repeat is Marian College in Ballsbridge. Very good, friendly school and they have excellent teachers, and you don't have to wear a uniform if you are repeating. Fee is 600 euro as far as I know.
