Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to exclude a student's part-time earnings from the family's income assessment for higher education grant eligibility; his views on whether the inclusion of a student's part-time earnings is a disincentive to work, particularly where family incomes are under pressure; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that such earnings have in many instances put the family income marginally above the qualifying limit and caused student dropout; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
