In light of the insolvency legislation, is the Government working with the Department of Education and Skills? In recent months I have come across many people who are going through the insolvency process. They have sons and daughters whom they will be sending to college. Their overall earnings are above the threshold but the reality is that they earn but €24,000 or €25,000 when everything is subtracted. Is the Government doing something to facilitate these people? Alternatively, will the people in middle Ireland who are going through what I describe be left out such that their sons and daughters will not be able to go to college?
