IBEC, the Irish business lobby group today, today welcomed the Minister for Education Batt O'Keeffe's confirmation that the Government is considering the reintroduction of tuition fees to help address the serious under-funding in the third-level sector. IBEC said the current funding system was unsustainable and called for a detailed examination to see which alternative system, involving the re-introduction of private contributions, would be most suitable.
