Just been listening and reading about Clare county council looking for proof of payment of the household charge.
Apart from those who CANT pay, and along with all those who have exemptions.I think its a wonderful idea.
Something like 50% of students get grants,and some of us who have paid the household charge and pay our students fees are as usual being left to carry the can.
The cost of this is enormous and yet a some of those who wont pay the household charge are the very ones looking to get free fees and anything else they can manage to wriggle out of paying.
For me paying the fees of my student is difficult,and yet he is with others who are on grants,who have no need to work part time,who go on weekends away,who can afford to go on nights out etc.
For a 100 euro investment you get 2500 euro, that's a bargain!
