The Education Minister Ruairi Quinn has stated that he is not in favour of re-introducing fees for third-level students.
Speaking in the Dail last week, the minister said implementing measures that could prevent people from poorer backgrounds from entering higher education is "not desirable".
He added that he has asked the Higher Education Authority to examine the system and come up with proposals that would minimise the burden for students, but still deliver the additional funding the system needs.
