Student Support Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
4:00 pm
Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)
I thought I said in my Second Stage contribution that that was included in the legislation, that one would contact one's own VEC, be it County Galway VEC or City of Dublin VEC. If, say, a student from some part of Dublin has a difficulty in completing the application form, a person will be assigned within each VEC to help him or her as part of a consultation process. I agree with both Senators in that regard. I agree that there must be consultation, but I think it is provided for. I would like to hear the Minister of State confirm that the provision is in the legislation. I welcomed it during the debate on Second Stage.
