Under the austerity measures introduced after the economic crash, funding to third level institutions was cut. Universities were asked to more with less money. To make up the funding shortfall, a student contribution was introduced. Austerity is supposedly over and we were promised these cuts would be reversed but this has not happened. What measures does the Minister intend to introduce to close the funding deficit and when will they be enacted?
