Bernard J. Durkan
Question:745 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the reason a person (details supplied) in County Kildare has been refused the third level option allowance, in view of the fact that only a simple technicality precludes them from qualification and that other students who have pursued the same courses but have not accepted a degree still continue to qualify; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
