Harney affirms opposition to college fees plan

TÁNAISTE Mary Harney last night reiterated her opposition to the reintroduction of college fees, saying the measure was not part of the Government’s Programme for Government.

Ahead of today’s Cabinet meeting, Ms Harney said the reintroduction of fees was not the way to open up access to third-level education.

“We have to open up access to third-level education; the question is how to do that,” she said.
