Liam Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail)

I want to quote him on the last budget, the Ministers for Education and Science and Finance and the Taoiseach. Regarding the interpretation of the budget by the Higher Education Authority, universities and institutes, he stated:

The signal this budget gave is a seismic shift of Government strategy. In clear and unmistakable terms, the Minister, her Minister for Finance and the Taoiseach are putting higher education at the very centre of our national economic development strategy.

Need I say more?
