We also need to be careful in that regard. Public private partnerships have long been called for. I would add a word of caution in respect of what that model ends up looking like.

Much more than that amount will be needed.

Th reduction in fees will only apply for this academic year and college fees will increase again to €2,500 for most, and €3,000 for some, come next September.

Is that the case? That will be a big jump.
