Student Fees: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-08
============================================================

Mairéad Farrell (SF), Galway West

The Minister clearly does not know how budgets work. I have only two minutes of speaking time so I will not be able to go through it now but I have no problem sitting down with him at some other time to go through exactly how budgets work. Budgets are about political choices. The Minister says it is a policy decision. It is a policy decision the Government said it was going to take.
