Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Our colleague, the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, tells me that his Department is undertaking a recruitment campaign with regard to management teams at the moment. I accept very much the points the Deputy makes around the hazard they can be to road users, and the dangers. I will also ask the matter be raised with the RSA.

In response to Deputy Murphy, students will absolutely continue, no doubt, to protest and highlight issues of concern to them but I would say to them that we have cut their fees, increased their grants, increased the PhD stipend, extended the rent tax credit and invested more in third-level education than ever before in the history of the State.
