Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The only image that is embedded in the minds of students is the Minister for Education and Skills on the steps of Trinity College, Dublin, swearing blind and signing on the dotted line that he would reverse the student contribution charge and not increase it. Yesterday, we discovered the student charge will now be over €1,000. That is what students are saying about the Minister. The Government should not tell us it is trying to improve the situation for students because it is not.
