Interesting question and having put 2 through 3rd level recently I would still be unsure as to how much it actually cost. main direct costs of 3rd level (assuming no Masters) would be the student contribution (currently 3kpa) over 4 years plus say €500pa to cover sundry college charges. Virtually no book requirement as all required reading is generally available through the libraries or on line. The main other direct cost is accommodation and this almost entirely depends on distance from college. Obviously Cork/Limerick is much cheaper than Dublin. eg Cost 3,600 for a 9 month stay in Limerick. This would be considerably higher in Dublin.is e120k enough
Thanks to all for you replies. Definitely will stay away from property investment - have been a landlord and hated - like many Irish people my relatives are property mad - 'they're not making more land' is a generational saying in our family. 4Brendan - thanks for the costings from your experience - will just go and put 60k for each of them in Post Office Savings Account - 60k for 3 years and another 60k for 5 years for my son. I have told them they will have to go to college at home in Dublin - I can't see myself being able to afford to send them to UK or anywhere abroad.

Don't knock that "property madness" of earlier generations in your family Elaine, is it not largely responsible for your personal net worth..?!
She is planning to do two subjects for LC in 5th Year - Irish and Maths - and the remaining 5 in 6th Year
