Written Answers. - Higher Education Grants Scheme.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

80 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education when the Milltown Institute of Theology and Philosophy will be included in the list of third level schools or colleges qualifying for higher education grants; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Milltown Institute of Theology and Philosophy has applied to my Department to have a number of its courses recognised for inclusion in the higher education grants scheme.

As the recognition of these courses for any form of grant payment by the State raises legal and constitutional issues my Department has sought advice in the matter from its legal advisers. A decision will be taken on the matter when this advice becomes available.
