Third Level Fees
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-08
============================================================

Verona Murphy (IND), Wexford

I understand there might be slight duplication on this. Based on the figures that are available to me, it seems that since the UK, including Northern Ireland, as the Minister pointed out, left the EU, Ireland has taken over the title of having the highest university fees in the EU. What proactive steps is the Department taking to address university fees, which are the highest in Europe currently?
