1775 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the education community outside of the third level sector believes that even a very targeted fee system is actually a wedge for the extension of the scheme to those on lower incomes down the line; if he has carried out a cost-benefit analysis to find out whether such funds could be obtained through the existing tax system by making sure higher earners pay their fair share of tax by closing down loopholes and so on; his views on whether the benefits of third level education accrue to more than just the individual receiving the education and in this context make penalising a small cohort born at the wrong time fiscally imprudent; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
