Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I thank the Office of the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me to raise this matter. I am alarmed and perturbed to read reports emanating - from where I am not sure - that farmland and farms will be taken into consideration for the assessment of income for third level students. I am not sure if the Minister of State, Deputy Sherlock, is replying to this matter but I ask him to desist from texting during my contribution.
