Question:170 Mr. Noonan (Limerick East) asked the Minister for Social Welfare if his attention has been drawn to the fact that many students are now 19 before they leave school as a result of a six year cycle being introduced to post primary schools; if, as a consequence, he will raise the eligibility age of persons in full-time education to 19; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
