Order of Business.

Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)
Will the Leader ask the Minister to indicate clearly what he is trying to do in the area of higher education and maintenance grants? He has tried other methods such as the reintroduction of fees, but his current method is to target the assets of applicants' parents. It is completely unfair of him to change the rules to exclude people from receiving maintenance grants rather than taking account of the need for greater access.
