I wish to advise the Deputy that residency was granted to the person in question on 28 September 2005 and a letter notifying the applicant of the decision issued on the same day. Following the receipt of further correspondence, a response was issued to the person in question on 6 October 2005 further clarifying the conditions of the permission granted. The Deputy should note that matters relating to higher education grants are for the Minister for Education and Science to consider.
