Simon Harris says he also doesn't see why the €500 grant for families earning under 100-thousand euro can't be extended or raised in the future.
In the latest budget, all students will get a 1,000 reduction in their contribution fee, while those whose families earn under €100,000 will see a further €500 cut.
At least 70,000 students, including close to 2,000 in Wicklow are in line to benefit from student maintenance grant increases following Budget 2024 announcements this week.
Minister Harris says his department is committed to making college cheaper.
