It is about the 400 on undergraduate courses at the Marino Institute of Education, including the bachelor of education in primary teaching, primary teaching, the bachelor of science in education studies and bachelor of science in early childhood education. I have been in contact with some of the students in light of the recent budget announcement that all third level students were expected to be entitled to the €1,000 rebate on college fees. Unfortunately some students in Marino Institute of Education will not qualify for this. Is there any way that we can solve this issue? I am not looking for an answer now and I do not expect it as it was not part of the remit of appearing before the committee but if there is anything at all the Minister or his Department can do on this it would be very much appreciated.
