Free education is so expensive

I AM writing to complain about the ridiculous increase in students' registration fees. I have two children attending college and I will have to pay about 1,400 euro for so-called free education.

My two children do not get any grant.

I am a PAYE worker and after mortgage, tax, pension contribution etc, my take-home pay is only 250 euro. I have two other children to feed, tax and insure my car, pay ESB, phone, home insurance, etc out of the 250 euro, I am the new poor.
