Written Answers. - Education Grant.

32.

asked the Minister for Education if his attention has been drawn to the plight of a student (details supplied) in County Offaly, who is experiencing great difficulty in obtaining a grant to attend the Regional Technical College, Athlone, County Westmeath.

The course the student in question is following is not an approved course for the purpose of the terms of a higher education grant.

It is understood that if the student reapplies to the chief executive officer of the vocational education committee for her area, the question of awarding her a scholarship under the committee's scheme for the award of scholarships to the regional technical colleges and colleges of technology will be examined.
