Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland that in the case of the student referred to by the Deputy, her student grant application was appealed to the appeals officer in SUSI and the original decision was overturned.

On that basis, the application is currently being reassessed and the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
