Third Level Fees
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-18
============================================================

Violet-Anne Wynne (IND), Clare

I wish to raise a matter raised with me by Deborah, a constituent of mine. My question relates to the welcome recent measures for students that were introduced in budget 2023. Why will mature students who are juggling work and engaged in blended learning courses be ineligible to receive the €1,000 reduction in fees? Does the Department plan to remedy that in any way?
