The presumption made by the Department of Education and Skills is that students can get beyond Carraroe or Dunmore every evening. They receive a grant of €1,000 if they have a piddly little income. The adjacent rate is tiny and the student's parents are on a very low income, if the grant is awarded. The Department presumes students can travel 45 km, but the NTA presumes they only want to travel to Barna.
