University fees hike controversy
Sir, – I see there is division in Government in relation to a potential increase in university fees. I think I know the perfect solution that will result in all parties including students being happy and nobody loses face. A special commission should be set up to produce a report on how universities should be funded. It will probably take a year or so to complete. In the meantime, no hard decision is required and we kick this thorny issue down the road yet again. Sound familiar? – Yours, etc, EAMONN BYRNE, READ MORE Dublin 15.

UK's Visa Crackdown Leaves City of London Immigrants in Limbo

The insurance industry says overseas relocations have now ground to a halt. Such is life in the UK after the government announced it would now take ten years for immigrants to receive preferential status known as indefinite leave to remain, or ILR. That's twice the time it used to take.
