Threat of college fee return shadows offers
As students receive their first round offers from the CAO today, the threat of the reintroduction of college fees hangs over them.
Labour TD, Eamon Gilmore, believes such a move would have a devastating affect on many families.
Mr Gilmore said: “The fees for a four or five year course are between €12,000 and €15,000. Certainly for a family with more than one child in third level education - that is a huge financial commitment.”
“It is something that would hit very hard on the PAYE worker on modest income who wants to send their children to third level education.”
