"A third-year UCD student has described measure to reduce fees and widen supports for students as "breadcrumb politics"."
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.
