John Bruton
Question:112 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will list the institutions that have applied for recognition by him or his predecessor as part of the list of approved institutions for the purposes of the Local Authorities (Higher Education Grants) Acts, 1968-92 and which have been rejected; whether these institutions were rejected on the grounds that their courses did not satisfy minimum standards, or on the basis of the overall availability of resources; the criteria used regarding minimum standards; and the consultations, if any, undertaken with a view to establishing minimum standards in each case.
