Third Level Fees Dail Éireann — 2025-07-08 ============================================================ Donna McGettigan (SF), Clare The decision of the Minister’s Department and the Department of housing not to step in and offer urgent protection for students is seriously misguided and out of touch. Students are already at breaking point and now must face this cost that many cannot afford. Can the Minister not see that this is a deterrent and not an incentive to continue their education? --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
