Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Higher Education Funding: Discussion (Resumed) (2 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá céad míle fáilte romhaibh. I was delving into my past during the presentations. For a while, it felt as if I was back in my bachelor of commerce class in University College Galway. Unfortunately, much of the material went over my head, although I tried to follow it as best I could. While the presentation was very interesting, it brings to mind the expression that...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What are the implications for mature students? So far, we have been taking the answers for someone coming straight out of school and into third level education but what about someone who comes into education later, in their 30s or 40s, for instance, having raised children, or are going in part time? Will they have to pay as big an amount?

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtús báire ba maith liom mo mhíshástacht iomlán a léiriú maidir leis an gcruinniú seo agus leis an laghad ama atá againne leis an gceist a phlé. Tuigim go mbeidh an tAire Stáit ag teacht ar ais ach táimid ag caint ar choicís eile. Ní thuigim cén chaoi ar oibrigh sé amach, ach tá an bealach ina gcaitheann...
