    I was talking with on of them and here is what he told me:

    "there are 100 other student in the MCP(medical c~ programme) and each of us pays 18,000 euro for the ITT"

    so I did the math and the sum is 1,800,000 euro

    he also added that they get paid for 1800 euro monthly and most of it goes to dunnes.

    so lets say then spend 500 euro for the place they live in and 300 euro for other stuff they do

    that would be 800 x 100 = 80,000

    So add them all up and you get 1,880,000 euro ONLY from these arabic people

    DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

    I'd hardly say 'most of Tralee income comes from these students' now... :D

    Oh - I'm sure Arabic is actually a language ;)

    Most of the students on the Medical Commencement Programme are from Saudi Arabia, but some are also from Kuwait and Nigeria.


    OP do you really think 1.9 million is MOST of Tralee's income? I'm sure plenty of businesses in Tralee make far more than that.

    As I said on the TRALEE thread

    Think you'll find that alot of them are Trainee Doctors (course in IT North Campus).

    You might also find one of them looking over you on the operating table someday ! ;)

    The IT does very well out of this programme, if they get 18k from each student ?

    It's just some kinda introduction/foundation course for international students before they actually start a degree.

    The doc is now a qualified surgeon from the ITT & is performing hysterectomys on mice at NASA to see the effect on weightlessness in space flight. His classmate is flipping burgers in McDonald's

    We need as many foreign students as we can fit in the door, any non EU student has to pay very high tuition fees, let this subsidies all our students who are already paying increasing fees.

    I have a friend from Bangladesh who's dad has paid over 50 grand on his education, most of which has been in Ireland.

    Let's target people around the world to come here for payed education. They'll be moving here at a college age which means they're at the prime starting point of their working and spending lives, they're also highly intelligent, well motivated and good people. Purely from an economic point of view let's get more in.
