    Hi all, my housemate from spain wants to start an evening course in childcare here in dublin and wants to know if she'll be eligible for a mature student grant (she's 32) here in Ireland, or if she would be classed the same as an Irish citizen. If anyone know where I can start digging for information I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    You don't get a grant for part time courses - she could get tax relief on tuition fees

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
