Well, that’s fucking shit
I’d prefer more direct entry places rather than subsidising graduate entry.
It’s like they want people to go to Europe
Did they have high defaults or something?
Terrible sign of things to come. A Financial crash is imminent.
They’re also reporting they aren’t able to get new staff.
Why are we as a country still allowing a medical degree to be charged for?
There is absolutely no need for a ridiculous loan, that only keeps the poor out.
and another headline about the lack of staff for the HSE … we don’t train nearly enough doctors
