Sir, - Euro preparations are already in full swing in UCD. A friend of mine, upon requesting a replacement student card recently, was informed that the already exorbitant fee of £10 had been raised to £10.25 - to facilitate the changeover to Euro. It would seem that to the powers that be in Belfield, 13.01 euro is a much rounder number than 12.70! - Yours, etc.,
