The Minister said that we will have a full review of the reintroduction of third level fees. He cynically said that hours after the media carried a statement from the heads of third level institutions on the origins of many of their students. That was a misleading article. The statistics, and the deductions made from them, were latched on to by the Minister in a way which misrepresented the truth. It is odd the Minister has allies in the president of UCD, Dr. Cosgrove, the provost of Trinity College and the president of NUI Maynooth. Why have they allied themselves with the Minister's notion? The Taoiseach and Tánaiste recently disowned this – the Minister is going one way while they are going another. One wonders if it is a decoy intended to soften public outrage. The Minister has experienced public outrage, which was unfortunate and unsightly to say the least. He brought it on himself through his indecision and his U-turns.
