asked the Minister for Education if he will state the total number of university students holding scholarships originating in the State, and the percentage this number represents of the total number of students.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - University Scholarships.
The information immediately available to my Department is limited to university scholarships awarded by the State and by local authorities.
My Department has, however, asked the university institutions for up-to-date information in regard to holders of scholarships awarded by the university or college concerned.
If, therefore, the Deputy would repeat the question in about a fortnight, I hope to be then in a position to answer it fully.
