Case for fees

approve of the reintroduction of college fees for those well able to afford them. Trinity students dashing out to Brown Thomas should never have availed of free fees.

I Also, free fees facilitated the admission of low calibre students into university, many of them having no concept of even basic grammar.

The payment of fees should however be further complemented by a severe cut in the pay of unproductive university elites.

Universities should also be forced to prove that their standards and levels of worthwhile employment have increased as a result of the reintroduction of fees.
