We are 'cash cows' for Irish universities, say international students

International students attending college in Ireland have told the  Irish Examiner they feel like they were lured here by universities to generate profit, with many of them now stuck in Ireland unable to return home, and without the campus experience they came here for.

Some of these students are campaigning for a refund of some of the fees they paid, saying they were promised in-person tuition which, because of Covid restrictions, now cannot be delivered.
