Education (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage
1:00 pm
Marie Moloney (Labour) | Oireachtas source
I find it bizarre that, when a lone parent raising a child applies for a third level grant to go back to college, he or she to be assessed on his or her parents' means, despite the fact that he or she is a parent himself or herself. This is something we really ought to consider at some stage, if not under this Bill then some other one.
