I propose to take Questions Nos. 246 to 248, inclusive, and 278 together.
The following table provides a breakdown of the processing position of student grant applications received by Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) from County Kerry. The data provided is at a point in time on 15 January, 2013. It gives the position for student grant applications for attendance at both further and higher education. This data has been provided to my Department by SUSI.
SUSI is continuing to make payments on a weekly basis to ensure students can get paid their grant as expeditiously as possible, once they have been awarded a grant. Those awarded a grant must supply bank account details and confirmation of registration must be received from the institution in order for the first instalment to be paid.
