Under my Department's student grant schemes, eligible candidates may receive funding provided they are attending an approved course at an approved institution as defined in the relevant scheme. I understand that the college referred to by the Deputy is a private college and is not on the list of approved institutions for student grant purposes.

However, the tuition fees payable in this case may be eligible for tax relief. Details in relation to tax relief on tuition fees are available from the Revenue Commissioners.
