Edward Nealon
Ceist:53 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Education the reason depreciation is not taken into consideration by her Department in assessing income for third-level maintenance grant purposes in view of the fact that depreciation is taken into consideration in assessing farmers' incomes by the Revenue Commissioners and most other agencies; her views on whether this is very discriminatory against farmers; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
