The Education Minister has said it is important that any third level fees are 'family-proofed'.
Batt O'Keeffe said the report looking at the possible re-introduction of fees is at an advanced stage and will be brought before Cabinet in April.
Students unions are strongly opposed to the idea, and have held a number of high profile protests to highlight their anger at the proposals.
However, Minister O'Keeffe said any fees will be well thought through and will not include low income families.
