Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Recent Closures of English Language Schools: Discussion
3:30 pm
Mr. Bruno Mateus Francio:
I had only completed one and a half months. Last year I worked very hard as an engineer but I had a dream in Brazil that I would go abroad and learn English because I have to develop my English. I came here with that dream and I was very happy when I got here but now all that has happened has made me and most of my friends very sad. I came to Ireland to study for six months and then go back to Brazil. Now I am on holidays but I do not want to be. I am already two months on holidays. I do not know if I will go back to Brazil or stay here because I am wasting money with having to pay rent, bus fares and all the costs because I am not working here. I do not have work or school and I have to pay rent for the house.
