Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

Amendment No. 5, in my name, was similar. On Committee Stage, we discussed the value of ensuring every incentive is given to family members to continue higher and further education. Any support system for extra help that can be made available through this fund should be continued. We had conflicting views in representations made to us but any assistance given towards education is of the utmost importance.
