PQ 559
559. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if habitual residency criteria for qualification for free fees for third level courses will be eased for returning Irish emigrants, as many currently have to pay full fees if they have been out of Ireland for a certain period; if she recognises the irony and unfairness of this, given that those who are forced to emigrate are arguably the greatest victims of economic failure; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
