Richard Boyd Barrett
Question:122. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the reason wives and families of Saudi students on English language programmes and third level courses are allowed to accompany their husbands or fathers while they study here, but wives and families of Libyan students are allowed to accompany their husband or father only if one parent is studying for a PhD., and not for undergraduate or English language programmes; if his attention has been drawn to the negative effect that this has in marketing Ireland as a destination of choice for English language studies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
