I return to the issue of postgraduates who go to college and have to pay full fees because they already have a university degree. I have had this argument with the Department of Finance over the past three to four years about how they cannot write that loan off against tax once they qualify. Has ICGP had any engagement with the Department of Finance on that? It is a challenge if someone is paying fees of €18,000 or €20,000 per annum over four years, which amounts to €80,000 plus accommodation.
