Well, if you're a student from Northern Ireland & have a place at a Scottish University, you get yourself a Republic of Ireland passport because then - as an EU student - you pay nowt. Crazy, innit?

In fact, if you're an English student with a bit of Mick blood & wish to study amongst the jocks then it may be worth trying to get the paddy passport. It used to be easy, but I dunno what it's like now.
