According to the 2001 census, around 625,000 people residing in Wales and England claimed Irish background. It is estimated that around six million people across the Britain are descended from Irish grandparents. In the UK, under certain circumstances, residents with Irish great-grandparents are allowed to obtain Irish passports. Children as well as grandchildren of other European statuses can also make use of the legal loophole. The Government of Scotland exhibited only a low profile on this development by stating that the number of people affected will be very small.

It is expected that Scottish universities would be flooded with applications. Normally the students were to pay around 9000 Pounds as fees. Naturally this would have its impact on other institutions. While competition for places will be increased in some institutions, others would be suffering from lack of sufficient funds. To fund European Union students every year Scottish government has to spend 75 million Pounds and it is estimated that in Autumn, there is an increase of 6 per cent in the applications from the EU students.

The president of the University and College Union Scotland, Gordon Watson said that already the funding system has become very difficult to deal with. He added that the competition for places would be increased as students with dual-European passport would be competing with Scottish students and next year the competition would be even greater. The Scottish universities have created problem for the UK universities and they are trying to increase the number of admission.

The president of NUS Scotland, Robin Parker said that it is necessary that the students must be well informed about the places that are available and what all support they would be able to get. A spokeswoman for Universities Scotland said that as per records, currently there is no increase in the number of student applications from students holding Irish passports. The Universities Scotland is still seeking clarifications from the Government regarding this issue on behalf of the students.

A spokesman of the Scottish Government said that for a number of years, students holding dual-UK and EU nationality were allowed to apply for free support at Scottish Universities as non-UK EU nationals. Till date there was no significant raise in the number of such applications and the government do not expect an alarming rise in the number now. Students are to prove that they hold EU nationality before the authorities before the prescribed date as the eligibility criteria for claiming nationality differs from state to state. The Government is closely monitoring the trend in the applications and is ready to take necessary steps. They are also exploring the possibility of imposing an EU management fee within the frame work of EU Law. At present while the Scottish students are allowed free education, students from Wales, England and Northern Ireland are charged 9000 Pounds to pursue their studies in Scotland.

The Blackpool Council’s music advisor, Andrew White said that the council is really happy to receive the award. With this fund, the Blackpool children could be provided with excellent opportunities. Each year four students would be able to get interest free loans for instrument and FREE lessons in music for one year. Mr Andrew White said that every year they would bring musicians worldwide and organise orchestras, choirs and shows. He continued that the music service maintains good relations with the local schools and for the ensuing three years they could continue with what they were doing with the help of the funding.

The Government has announced its new strategy, The Importance of Music, in January and that changed the mode of funding. Arts Council UK was brought on board and the creation of musical hubs was their decision. Encouragement was given to Music service providers to partner with neighbouring groups with an aim to from musical hubs in order to secure more funding. Altogether 122 hubs were formed. Blackpool records forced them to remain as a single unit with out joining with others. Mr. White continued that though Blackpool is a remote and deprived area, the music service was able to reach great heights. The Federation of Music Services in its reports has mentioned Blackpool as outstanding and Blackpool was the winner of the Major Trophy awarded by the National Music Council.

When the concept of forming a musical hub was looked into, the music service found that what the hub is aiming to achieve has already been achieved by Blackpool. Bringing professional musicians and other musical organisations are not new to Blackpool. That is the reason for not forming a musical hub. The organisation is always concerned about the requirements of its students. Anyway music education hubs will come in to existence in the month of August 2012.

The iUK business directory “iukbusinessdirectory.co.uk” furnishes particulars of various business organisations within the UK. It has been observed that about 20,000 personnel take the help of the directory every month.

The UK businesses are urged to avail the opportunity of free listing in the directory by 30th May. This facility has been provided by the business directory as a part of its promotion drive.

The directory is meeting the needs of the enterprisers in increasing their awareness with the local residents who prefer to do shopping close to their residences or within their localities.

The directory will enable the enterprisers to do the listing in such a manner that the public can easily visit their websites and premises. The founder of the directory remarked that as most of the residents prefer local purchases, the company has taken effort to introduce the local business directory for the comfort of the residents and businesses, so that both are at advantage.

The users can search by category, type of business, location etc and they will be provided online with full description, complete information, lay out of the premises etc. Any other relevant information will be furnished on request.

Some of the categories are business services, computers, internet, industry and commerce, construction, finance, home, garden, travel and tourism etc.

The businesses are informed that a website link and detailed description of the enterprise including five relevant photos are part of the listing. It is emphasized that those who register before 30th May are eligible for lifetime listing.

The enterprisers have the opportunity to have higher exposure by highlighting the listing on the directory’s homepage if they are ready to pay an extra ₤49.00, inclusive of taxes.

The listing can top the list in the chosen category if they are willing to pay ₤27.00, which include taxes. Payments are accepted via PayPal and are entirely secure.

The Cloud’s network consists of thousands of hotspots throughout the UK. Incidentally, More than 7 million sessions were recorded on the network in the month of February.

From April, the Sky Broadband Unlimited customers are also freely utilizing the unrestricted wireless access available at Broadgate and every other Cloud Wi-Fi hot spot.

Vince Russell of The Cloud is pleased at the achievements of his company. He said that the perseverance and hard work of his technical personnel have played a big part in bringing fast, reliable, uninterrupted internet to all establishments, offices, shops, restaurants, institutions, etc in Broadgate. With the rapid increase in the usage of smartphones and tablets, the service enables the subjects to participate in the entertainment and excitement of the country’s most lively and vivacious building complex.

Interestingly, The Cloud in association with Broadgate has also installed a ‘hot air balloon’ in the premises. This gives an opportunity for the people to ‘enter’ into The Clouds and have a full view of London.

Regional flights from Aberdeen, Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh can be booked with an additional charge of GBP 149 for economy class and GBP 199 for business class. The inclusion of these flights will obviously result in some increase in the fares, as pointed out by a spokesperson of the carrier.

Oceania did not reveal the name of the airlines which will be operated but only indicated to the travel agents that they would not be low cost airlines. The passengers with Oceania Cruises booking are also eligible to add flights, if needed, free of charge.

In the case of fresh bookings, those who opt for Oceania Cruises will get an air credit, the particulars of which can be attained from the airlines if officially requested for. Just for an example, GBP 100 will have to be paid for journey to any place within Europe. The charges will be GBP 300 for flight to a Middle East city, say Dubai. The amount will be GBP 800 in the case of flight to Far East places like Auckland in New Zealand. The airline is yet to clarify as to how the credit will apply.

Oceania seems to follow the footsteps of its sister concern Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Crystal Cruises in bundling the fare. Nowadays, it is the inclination of airlines, whether luxury or premium, to include flights in the package.

Luxury lines like Silversea, Seabourn, Sea Dream Yacht Cub etc charge separately for the flights. Oceania prefers to be among upper premium category rather than in luxury lines.

Thus, Oceania allows the passenger a perfect method of booking a flight, but then the airlines should not be considered to be following the ultra luxury operators. Oceania’s reputed restaurants do not offer any supplement. In fact, gratuities, drinks etc are charged for. Excursions are also not free. Even the charges from airport to ship and vice versa have to be borne by the passengers.
