54 Mr. M. Ahern asked the Minister for Education if she will consider a quota system in relation to university places for special socio-economic groups; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3467/95]
The question of a quota system in relation to university places for special socio-economic groups will be considered in the context of the future development of the higher education sector in Ireland. In June 1993 I asked the steering committee, established under the aegis of the Higher Education Authority, to advise me on the needs of the sector to the year 2015.
