I welcome the suite of recent budgetary measures, especially for young people. They are practical measures that would help students and families with the cost of education and the cost of living generally. There are over 1,736 students in Mayo who will receive the additional student grant repayment. This is very welcome, on top of the €1,000 fee reduction. On the Minister's hard work on the cost of third level education through the funding the future policy, can he provide an update on how we can reduce fees in the coming years?
