O’Keeffe ‘cannot understand’ lack of funding
Mr O’Keeffe said he is not satisfied that the Government is getting value for money from the third-level sector, indicating that too much funding goes on research and development rather than teaching students. He said he will carry out an audit to ensure money is used properly.
He was speaking at the Fianna Fáil annual think-in yesterday where he met a number of students who had gathered outside the conference in the Clayton Hotel in Galway to protest over proposals to re-introduce college fees.
