International student or not when you have the passport???

OK so I was born in England but neither of my parents or any of my relatives are English. My dad and all his family is Irish so I have an Irish passport. I want to go to uni in Ireland and I think this means that I can count as an Irish student and therefore get the £2000 (ish) course fees even though I have an English GCE education and not the leaving cert. but I cant find anywhere that says this for definite :s-smilie:

help?

Also kind of off topic but: I was looking at Griffith College Dublin and I really liked the course and everything but then I read on hear someone said 'don't bother with Griffith College' because 'its for rich people who couldn't get in anywhere else so pay to get in' (no offense to anyone!) however this was in 2006 and the course (journalism) was recognized by the National Union of Journalism so I am thinking (/hoping) that this has changed/the person was wrong? :confused:

Anyone know anything about it?
:colondollar:

help me please

As Ireland is in the EU, you will have the same fees as an Irish student, whether or not you are a resident/citizen of the country.

Yeah it doesn't matter if you're English or Irish - but fees are more than £2,000 anyway - closer to €6000 in most cases. http://www.tcd.ie/Treasurers_Office/fees/UG_EU_Fees_2012-13.pdf
