Vol. 481 No. 4

Written Answers. - Student Support Scheme.

Michael P. Kitt

Ceist:

279 Mr. M. Kitt asked the Minister for Education and Science if funding will be provided for a person (details supplied) in County Galway who is studying on a two year post-leaving certificate course. [16517/97]

The person to whom the Deputy refers is attending a new PLC course in international teleservices in one of the centres selected for this new initiative. I have introduced a new student support scheme towards the cost of the overseas placement which is an intrinsic part of this new PLC course. The scheme will apply to all participants on the PLC course in the selected centres, and will cover essential insurance costs, 75 per cent of the apex air fare, and a grant of £100 per week towards living expenses overseas, subject to a maximum of £300 for the air fare and £1,700 per student for living expenses.
