There is cross-party support for this amendment. I congratulate those who made representations, particularly the lobby group from NUI Galway where I know the issue has greater significance than in other colleges. I ask the Minister to reconsider, even at this late stage, and do something significant for the people concerned who find themselves in this situation. Otherwise, we will send out all the wrong signals. It seems we will come down heavy on those from disadvantaged backgrounds who want to make a difference to their education and have shown huge initiative by going back to college at a difficult age. That is unacceptable in this day and age. I request the Minister's support for this amendment.
