227 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Education and Science if she made progress in finding out the reasons a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 was refused leave in 2004 to continue the CGHND computer games design course in Ballyfermot College of Further Education which they had begun in 2003; the reason for the delay in responding to letters from this Deputy of 11 October 2004 regarding this case; the steps that are being taken to ensure that this person can pursue the course of their choosing despite the fact that eight weeks of the course have now elapsed; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that questions were raised by them and others on delivery of the course and that they believe they have been victimised due to this; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30785/04]
View answerThe issues raised by the Deputy on behalf of a student, in correspondence with the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee, CDVEC, and more recently, in correspondence sent to my Department, refer to the registration, admission, attendance and enrolment policies operated by a particular college. Operational matters of this kind are the responsibility of the college concerned and the relevant management authority. Accordingly, officials in my Department have copied the correspondence to CDVEC for further attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
