180 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Education if she will amend the present grant scheme to allow a person (details supplied) in County Meath claim a living away allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7664/95]
County Meath vocational education committee is the body entrusted with the administration of the European Social Fund-Aided Scheme under which the student is receiving grant aid.
The vocational education committee has determined that the circumstances of the student in this case warrant payment of the adjacent rate of grant only.
The 1994 scheme applies to this student and it is not the practice to amend the schemes retrospectively.
