Parents tell me that accommodation is one of the biggest financial challenges when their children go to college. I know of people who put their children's allowance away from when the child is born. They put every penny away. It is like a mortgage from the time the child is born for the child's education. I know it is not right but we will not solve that problem over night. I am interested the question I asked. In a perfect world, there would be free education but we do not have a perfect world. We might get to it in the distant future. However, could we make some financial contribution to attract students and to hold on to the expertise in Ireland Mr. Jones spoke about?
