Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Am I to take it from the Minister's response that we must wait until the Minister's officials have finished with the report before we see the findings of the commissioned report? Is the Minister aware that Ireland has consistently underspent in terms of third level education? The OECD puts us well below the average investment in students. Does the Minister understand that the abolition of fees had a hugely beneficial impact in terms of working class families who, otherwise, would not have benefited from the grant system in the past?
