Emmet Stagg
Question:248 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Carlow Regional Technical College failed to advise students for the 1997-1998 academic year of the increase in registration fees to £250; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that students who turned up for registration on 30 September 1997, and who had previously paid £150, had to pay a further £100 on the spot; his views on whether the college was at fault and that it would be more appropriate for the £100 to be paid in instalments; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
