Government should work towards abolishing student fees. Measures to reduce fees and widen supports for students are described as "breadcrumb politics". Student fees have been cut in this Budget from €3,000 to €2,500. Because this replaces last year's €1,000 reduction, the change effectively amounts to a €500 increase compared with the previous fee level. The Budget adjustment is therefore framed as an insufficient concession that fails to deliver meaningful relief for students and as a measure that does not address underlying affordability concerns.
