Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

National Strategy and Framework for Higher Education: Higher Education Authority

Mr. Fergal Costello:

The key point is that we try to be fair. If the costs are different we try to recognise that.

One of the remarkable features in Irish higher education demand is that in the past 30 years 25% to 30% of Irish students continue to choose arts and humanities. It is a valid student choice. They continue to want to do it and we want to continue to support that.
