Question:

75. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will expedite the Student Universal Support Ireland in respect of a person (details supplied). [48833/12]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The 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).

Officials in my Department have confirmed with SUSI, the new centralised grant awarding authority, that on 22nd August 2012 a request for supporting documentation was issued to the student referred to by the Deputy. When the requested documentation is returned to the grant awarding authority the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
