Dáil Committee waits a year for third-level costings

Education Minister Richard Bruton is under fire for creating a year-long delay in resolving the third-level funding crisis.

An Oireachtas committee tasked with looking at the future of third-level education is still waiting for Department of Education costings on the Cassells Report a year after first requesting them.

The Government has now been accused of creating yet another crisis as it continues to ignore the struggling third-level education sector.
