233. To ask the Minister for Finance if he will support the Union of Students of Ireland with the pre-budget submission to make adjacency rates and support postgraduate students as a priority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32930/15]

I can confirm that a Pre-Budget Submission from the Union of Students in Ireland has been received.  

To date my Department has received in excess of 400 Pre-Budget Submissions from a wide range of groups and individuals. These are being examined by the relevant officials in the context of Budget and Finance Bill preparation. However the Deputy will be aware that it is not the practice of the Minister for Finance to discuss the details of measures which may be under consideration as part of the Budget and Finance Bill process.
