Incoming Taoiseach Simon Harris has vowed to resolve the crises engulfing third level institutions and to bring down student fees under his leadership.

Issuing a firm warning, Mr Harris said he expects all universities to co-operate in full with any investigations, including a probe by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), into how millions of euro in funding has been spent.
