I thank the Minister for his response and interest in this matter. He will appreciate that Irish citizens living abroad would like their children to come back here to go to university, but the fees are exorbitant. The Minister said he cannot intervene in this way, but is there any way he can make it easier? Will he consider examining the possibility of making it easier for Irish citizens living abroad to come back here - these are young people we need and want here - to go to university, who might stay here afterwards and contribute to our economy?
