Vol. 566 No. 1
297 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science if a person (details supplied) in County Meath will be able to receive grant funding for their master's degree in occupational therapy at Limerick university; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11525/03]
The decision on eligibility for third level grants is a matter for the relevant local authority or VEC. These bodies do not refer individual applications to my Department except in exceptional cases where, for example, advice or instruction regarding a particular clause in the relevant scheme is desired. It appears that no such advice or instruction has, to date, been sought in the case of the student, referred to by the Deputy.
