Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Education (8 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I am sure the Minister has listened to the concerns of students during his visits to universities around the country. Students are asking me and, I imagine, many others in the House, what material difference students who apply for the SUSI grant next month will notice. How much has the threshold changed?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Education (8 Mar 2022)

Examples are the differences between cancer services, ambulance services, excise duties and VAT rates. I refer to all the various aspects of the services we consume.
