A third-year UCD student has described measures to reduce fees and widen supports for students as “breadcrumb politics”.

Student fees have been cut in this budget from €3,000 to €2,500, but because this replaces last year’s reduction of €1,000, Enzo Crothers (21) said it is actually a €500 increase.
