Pat Cox
Question:20 Mr. Cox asked the Minister for Education if, in relation to the Erasmus programme, her attention has been drawn to the difficulties experienced by Irish students who embark upon this programme arising from the fact that Irish students go from a low cost to a high cost economy and thereby are confronted with expenses that make this programme extremely difficult for them and their parents to cope with; and the steps, if any, she intends to take at EC level to remedy this situation.
