I will comment rather than ask questions because some of questions I intended asking have already been put. This morning, I listened to a debate on my local radio station which featured Dr. Ed Walsh, the former president of the University of Limerick. Dr. Walsh pushed the idea that graduates should get a job and repay their student loans once they reached a certain income threshold. Interestingly, this proposal received more support than any of the other options presented in the debate in a live poll. It was interesting that the loan proposal appeared to be the most attractive.
