In light of the fact that the student support legislation is being extended to provide for SUSI grants for people living in direct provision who qualify, I ask the Taoiseach to include in that extension Irish citizens who have been working overseas as volunteers but do not qualify because they do not meet the residency criteria. Such people may not have the money to go to college on their return and are being discriminated against unfairly.
