Third Level Fees

My question relates to a specific course, namely, the graduate entry medicine course run by a number of universities and medical schools throughout the country. As the Minister will be aware, the fees for such courses are absolutely enormous. They are some of the highest in the country at between €15,000 and €16,500 per year, which is incredible. Does the Minister have any plans to reduce these tuition fees, to reduce the burden on students and to keep medicine open to ordinary people?
