David Cullinane (Sinn Fein)

I wish to move an amendment to the Order of Business. I suggested yesterday that we have a full discussion in the House on the upcoming budget. All parties are making pre-budget submissions. We can offer alternatives to the Government and we have done in our pre-budget submission. We point out where money can be raised and saved such that we will not have to raise third level fees for students. I agree with the previous Senator that increasing fees represents a passport out of Ireland for young people. I commend the students who will be campaigning for their rights today. Many families are being forced to choose which child they will send for third and fourth level education.
