Vol. 448 No. 6
43 Mr. D. McDowell asked the Minister for Education the number of students from each local authority area who receive third-level education grants as a percentage of the total number of students from each local authority area attending third-level education colleges. [2417/95]
Data on the numbers of students attending third level education are not compiled on the basis of their local authority area. Data, however, are compiled on a county by county basis. In the time available it has not been possible to compile all the information on a county basis. I will arrange to have it sent to him as soon as possible. However, in the interval I can give the Deputy the following information as set down in the following tabular statement.
Percentage Leaving Certificate Candidates Awarded Higher Education Grants in 1993/94, by local authority area.
