GALWAY STUDENTS STILL WITHOUT COUNCIL GRANTS

Date Published: 22-Jan-2009

150 first year college students in Galway have still not been told whether or not they qualify for a County Council grant.

Councillor James Joyce says that half the academic year has passed and many grant applications have still not been processed by the Council.

Councillor Joyce has asked the County Manager to speed up the process and to try and ensure that students are notified before the end of January.
