Mary White (Fianna Fail)

She did not earn political kudos. She did good work as Minister for underprivileged young people but the political expediency of abolishing third level fees meant that young people in the lower economic social group were not looked after. The abolition of fees was totally unjust. I have a serious problem with the fact that so many young people who enter the workforce following the completion of the leaving certificate pay taxes to enhance the educational qualifications of the middle classes.
