Ceist:363 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the apparently inconsistent processing of four grant applications from one family (details supplied); his views on whether the four to seven children figure is appropriate in this case; if he has satisfied himself that this family is receiving its proper entitlement to maintenance funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
