I thank the Minister for the response. I would like to put on record that whereas I am aware they do not fall under his responsibility, in addition to issues around access to third level education there are a number of other problems facing returning emigrants, including car insurance, driving licences, grants for first-time home buyers, etc. I would ask that the Government as a whole begin a dialogue with all support organisations to address these issues. We want our citizens abroad to return home and we should not put any barriers in front of them. I again thank the Minister for coming into the House.
