Written answers

The position is that persons who hold subsidiary protection in the state will meet the nationality clause of my Department's free fees schemes. I understand that officials of my Department have been in contact, via the Higher Education Authority, with the third level institution concerned and have clarified the position in relation to the nationality clause of the free fees scheme, in respect of the student referred to by the Deputy.
