Question:315 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science the details of the charges for comparable distance degree courses by Irish universities and by overseas providers such as the Open University in Britain; if his attention has been drawn to the claim that Irish charges are 50% dearer; and if he will have investigations made into the basis of charges used by Irish institutions to ensure that they do not impede the take up of such options.
