As I indicated in my reply of 14 April 2005 to Question No. 149, I have asked my Department to review the status of this course for maintenance grant purposes.

Issues have been raised with my Department, including by the Office of the Ombudsman, regarding the conditions under which the course in question is recognised for grant purposes. These relate to the question of the course being recognised as progression for purposes of the scheme or as a professional practice qualification for a person who already holds a postgraduate qualification.
