Over here the only way you'd have to pay for college is if you wanted to go to a private one.

When you finish secondary school, you do state exams called the Leaving Cert, and as many as 100 points per subject depending on how well you do. You get the points from your best 6 subjects, and college places are allocated depending on how many points you have. If there's a tie for the last place, the person with the highest number(that was assigned before you started) gets the place.

None of it costs a thing cheers

I got double screwed ~ I went to the Uni, then dropped out after a year, then went to a private college and got my AA for more than twice the amout it would have cost to have gotten my BA at the uni; and now I have to pay for both...I do plan on going back to the university at some point, when I can afford to do so again.
