A FEW days ago I asked Suzanne Breen how she was coping with the new influx of students in South Belfast. She gives her answer today in the News Letter – and it’s not a glowing report by any means.
Update: Alex Maskey wants something done before the problem spreads. A South Belfast building moratorium?But what I also want to know is, how come if students are so poor and have to pay tuition fees and so on, why is it impossible to park in the Holy Land area from October? Perhaps if Daddy’s present to his clever kid for doing well in their A-levels was the cost of tuition fees instead of a new Corsa, there wouldn’t be so much to complain about?! Or are students just unafraid of debt these days? God, I sound old.
