John Connor
Question:28 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for Education if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the income regulations governing the award of third level education grants seriously conflicts with what is regarded as disposable income under the income tax code such as the treatment of capital allowances and other business expenditure; his views on whether these regulations discriminate against farmers, business people, contractors and others; if he intends to amend the regulations to have income for grant purposes brought into line with disposable income as recognised under the income tax Acts.
