Student Visas
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-23
============================================================

Gary Gannon (SD), Dublin Central

Is the Minister aware of the lack of eligibility to access student grants for persons who hold stamp 4 visas and, if so, what he and his Department are doing to evaluate expanding the criteria? I hope they are doing so. I think we have raised this with the Minister's predecessor every year for the past four years. I have also contacted the Minister's Department numerous times since he took up the role, so I hope he is aware of this and will be able to outline what he is doing to change it and make it fairer for those on stamp 4s.
