Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 September 2012
145. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Education and Skills the up to date position regarding an application for an education grant in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40353/12]
View answerThe decision on eligibility for new student grant applications from the 2012/13 academic year is a matter for the new centralised grant awarding authority, SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland).
The Deputy will appreciate that in the absence of all of the relevant details that would be contained in an individual's application form and supporting documentation, it would not be possible for me to say whether or not a student should qualify for a maintenance grant.
Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that documentation was requested from the student on 20 September last. When this documentation has been received, the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
