PQ 143
156 Deputy John Halligan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason he has decided to implement a reduction in the mature student grant and to do so retrospectively; his views on whether this will have a devastating effect on many mature students who, upon enrolling in full-time education for an agreed term, had budgeted the then available grant into their daily lives and who will now find themselves in a position in which they can no longer continue under this scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
