62. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a student (details supplied) in County Louth has been refused a student grant on the basis that their stepfather, who is on disability allowance, is not their legal guardian and therefore that income cannot be considered in the context of the assessment of income; if he finds this to be a discriminative decision for this student and all other students who apply for a student grant but are turned down on the basis that their father or mother may not be their biological parent; if he will reconsider the decision not to grant this person a student grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
