Pat Buckley: This is going on a long time. It was 1992 or something when this started. I will take up to 2011, I think. The document here has 41 pages. I see the work that has gone into this. The way this family has been treated is diabolical. I will read out some quotes because it is interesting that they are still fighting in 2024. I am reading from p.11: When we met the top two officials from...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister of State. I do not think there will be too many questions.

We had the Union of Students in Ireland before the committee earlier in the week. Cost-of-living challenges are a big issue for third level...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024)

Niall Collins: Yes, absolutely. The €116 million in the main goes towards the €1,000 reduction in the student registration charge. I think it is fair to say we have to keep in context the fact that over the lifetime of this Government, we have done a lot of work to reform the SUSI grant system. We have increased thresholds and grant amounts. We also made technical adjustments to the scheme...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: The increased stipend for PhD students that was announced in the budget is not covered in the Supplementary Estimate; it does not need to be. Does the Minister of State think it will facilitate postgraduate students in terms of their further studies?
