I propose to take Questions Nos. 173, 174, 232 and 233 together.
The Government is strongly committed to promoting Ireland as a centre for international education and to developing relationships with partner countries. We currently attract very few Libyan students to Ireland, and we are interested in growing that number in order to support the human capacity needs of Libyan society.
As the Deputy points out, Ireland has developed very successful partnerships with a number of countries in the region to educate Government-funded scholarship students. We are very open to developing a similar relationship with the Libyan Government, and contact has been made through diplomatic channels.
My Department works very closely with the Department of Justice and Equality on all issues related to international student recruitment, including issues related to Libyan students.
I am not aware of any restrictive conditions which apply particularly to Libyan students. My Department has no role in issuing conditional letters of offer, which is a matter for the institutions concerned.
