To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will give assurances to students in receipt of a maintenance and top up grant for the academic year 2012/2013 under the category NA1 - T, that second and subsequent instalments are guaranteed and will not be affected by Budget 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy will appreciate that as the preparation of the Estimates for any Budget including Budget 2013 is carried out on a strictly confidential basis, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on specific issues or proposals, including those relating to student grants, in advance of the Budget announcement.
