203 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reasons a person (details supplied) in County Kildare is referred to a county vocational education committee outside the county in which they are resident to make their grant application; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerGrant applicants should generally apply to the local authority or VEC in the area where they are normally resident. However, where a student has previously been in receipt of a student grant, they should re-apply to the grant awarding authority that previously processed their student grant application. Regardless of what grant awarding authority a student applies to, he/she will still be assessed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant student grant scheme.
