College fees could drop by €250 a year under new cost of living measures set to be introduced in Budget 2023.
Students are currently facing €3,000 per year bills could benefit from the new measures which are set to be among next month's budget announcement. While a paper on how to cut costs for college is expected, it is believed that Further and Higher Education Minister Simon Harris is pushing for a direct cut to fees.
The Irish Examiner reports that cuts could go as high as €500 but they're expected to be limited to €250 this year. But there are no concrete plans on how this cut is going to be introduced and it could end up being part of the grant system.
