Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

The Minister of State and I had the opportunity to attend an Aontas public meeting last week and the key issue brought to our attention was the crisis affecting many older students in terms of the back to education allowance. The Minister of State said he would look into the issue to see if greater flexibility could be shown to those students in the PLC sector. Has he given any consideration to that?
