572. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Education and Skills in the context of adjacency rate measurements for the purpose of Higher Education Grants, if she will change the 45 kilometre requirement to travel distance rather than the geographical distance, as the crow flies, which does not work in rural Ireland; if she will consider a rural exemption from the 45 kilometre rule or a reversion to the old rate of 24 kilometres for rural colleges with no proven or little transport links; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
