‘I’m on the bus before most people are up in the morning just so I can make my class’ – cut in fees ‘breadcrumbs’, says student

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

Student fees have been cut in this Budget from €3,000 to €2,500 but because this replaces last year’s reduction of €1,000, Enzo Crothers (21) said it’s actually a €500 increase.
