Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Natalia Leane:

Getting to work costs a lot, for example. I have to go to college and then I have to go to work. I have the exact same distance from college to work. It is a 40-minute drive. That is not good. When I was going to college and work at the same time, that was six days a week. Getting petrol for six days a week is insane. I could see on the course that people did not have enough. There were only four of us in our class, which had dropped drastically. We started off with 20-something and we ended up with four.
