Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) the new centralised grant awarding authority, that the application of the student referred to by the Deputy will be reviewed shortly in relation to possible inclusion of additional increment for a second child in college. SUSI will notify the student directly of the outcome.
