The problem is that we have abstract discussions on education. This is about students who are worried about having enough money to keep going during their Christmas exams? Their parents are in the same position. The one thing the State can provide is a gateway. That is what we want for our population. We want people to upskill, but we cannot put impediments in their way. I am not in any way questioning Mr. Ó Foghlú's veracity. I want to know when the issue will be sorted, when the students will be paid their grants and the cost in pounds, shillings and pence. A review will be carried out in the normal way.
