Third Level Charges.
1:00 pm
Pearse Doherty (Sinn Fein)
I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I acknowledge he mentioned the charge is in place to support students. Can he do anything about the university to which I referred taking more than €3.8 million under this charge during this academic year because of the reduction in the HEA grant, thereby forcing it to use the students' money? Is he prepared to do anything other than ask the authority to write again to the universities?
