Vol. 552 No. 1

Written Answers. - Higher Education Grants.

Willie Penrose

Ceist:

670 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department has received communication from a local authority (details supplied) on behalf of applicants for higher education grants (details supplied); if these grants will be awarded to these persons; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11194/02]

Westmeath County Council, the relevant grant awarding body, forwarded a query to my Department concerning the calculation of reckonable income for grant purposes, in the case referred to by the Deputy, of applications from two members of the same family.

The matter was referred for professional accounting advice within my Department and further information in relation to the case was subsequently requested. A response will issue from my Department to Westmeath County Council as soon as a decision is reached in the matter.
