The Minister is acting in contradiction to the Minister for Education and Science. He is seeking to encourage the disadvantaged to participate in third level education and has cited this as a reason for the reintroduction of third level fees. It is illogical for the Minister to deny access to the disadvantaged at a time when her ministerial colleague is seeking to encourage it, although I do not agree with the reasons offered by the Minister for Education and Science for the reintroduction of third level fees.
