The reason I did not supply the details is because I am talking about a policy rather than an individual but I will supply the details to the Minister of State to show that what I outlined has happened. According to the reply, the Minister of State said any student with an income of €164 in his or her own right will be assessed on his or her own means. Is that correct? Does that mean any student whose parents do not have medical cards but where he or she is working part-time and earning €164 will be assessed on his or her own merits? I wish to clarify that point.
