Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Since last September or October the Minister for Education and Science has been indicating that it is his intention to bring forward proposals to re-introduce third level fees for undergraduates in our third level sector. Recently, we have been told that he is about to bring proposals to the Government. We are not sure if proposals have been brought forward or whether they will be reviewed after 5 June. Is it the intention of the Government to introduce legislation to enact the proposals that will be brought forward to reintroduce fees? When will the House see that legislation?
