Noel Ahern
Question:340 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason dental benefit was refused to a person (details supplied); his views on the regulations which seem to discriminate against persons who take third level education in view of the fact that they commence work at 22 and 23 years of age and cannot have the required level of contributions by 25 years of age; and if he will examine the regulations and alter them to bring equality and justice in this regard.
