Labour Youth to protest against third-level fees

Labour Youth is holding a demonstration today to protest against the possible re-introduction of third-level fees.

Education Minister Batt O'Keeffe confirmed earlier this week that his department would be examining the move to ensure funding for colleges and universities is maintained.

He says any new fees would target more affluent members of society.

However, Labour Youth says the reintroduction of fees would create a further barrier to education.
