From the article:
Since tuition fees were eliminated in the mid-1990s, higher education funding in Ireland has experienced a pattern of boom and bust. Government resources have tended to grow when the economy was booming but declined during economic downturns. Revenues from tuition charged to some students and registration fees from all students often could not keep up with cuts in government funding.
