Students protest tuition fees plan

THOUSANDS of third-level students voiced their opposition to the re-introduction of tuition fees by marching to the Dáil yesterday.

Groups from colleges around the country converged on the capital and warned they might not pay any fees if the Government decides to reverse the decision to abolish fees in 1995.

Education Minister Noel Dempsey is reviewing third-level support services and has said he favours bringing back course fees for students whose families can afford them.
