Question 204: To ask the Minister for Education and Science her proposals to amend appendix 1 to section 50 of the Finance Act 1999 to include additional institutions and colleges (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16698/06]

Appendix 1 of the Guidelines on Residential Developments for 3rd Level Students issued under Section 50 of the Finance Act, 1999 comprises a list of certifying educational institutions. Full time third level students attending a certifying educational institution, as defined in the guidelines, are eligible to occupy Section 50 accommodation certified by that institution.

In the circumstances whereby the primary objective of this scheme has been achieved, I am satisfied that the range of certifying educational institutions as detailed in Appendix 1 to the guidelines does not need to be broadened as advocated by the Deputy.
