Eamon Gilmore
Question:111 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the anomaly in the higher education grants scheme as it applies to mature students whereby a mature student who is living away from home in the town or city of the college in which he/she wishes to study is paid the adjacent grant even though his/her living circumstances are the same as a student from outside the area who will benefit from a non-adjacent grant; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
