Ruairí Quinn
Question:120 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Finance if he has any plans to change the legislation and regulations governing Deeds of Covenant so as to make their operation more equitable, especially where the income of a donor, normally the parent of the donee, is just above the threshold of eligibility for a higher education grant, with a view to providing a greater level of assistance to donors on comparatively low incomes which would enable them to help their children/donees to attend third level education; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
