Written answers

In total Kerry County Council, as at 30 November 2012 has received some 836 renewal applications. Of these 823 have been awarded, 2 applications have been refused and 1 application cancelled. 10 applications are awaiting further documentation from the student. This data has been provided to my Department by Kerry County Council.

In total Kerry VEC, as at 30 November 2012 has received some 861 third level renewal applications. Of these 811 have been awarded and 7 applications have been cancelled. 43 applications are awaiting further documentation from the student. This data has been provided to my Department by County Kerry VEC.

The migration of the new applications to SUSI has enabled the 66 grant awarding authorities to process renewal applications on a more efficient basis - these are generally more straightforward and require significantly less documentary evidence.

The Data requested by the Deputy in relation to the third level institutions that grant applicants are attending is not available to my Department for renewal grant applications as the grant awarding authorities do not collate this data on an institutional basis.

This data is available from Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) in respect of new students and is provided on the following table.
