Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Higher and Further Education Grants: Discussion

1:00 pm

Ms Eilish Bergin:

Yes we can do that. It is understood that the Department of Social Protection is using new transitioning arrangements for moving people. This is a way we can work with the Department to ensure the smoothest possible arrangements for those students currently in education. This is a matter of ongoing discussion between the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Social Protection.
