Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI), that supporting documentation requested from the student referred to by the Deputy on 13th December, 2012 is still outstanding.
SUSI is currently contacting all applicants where documentation is outstanding - in the majority of cases, for more than six weeks - to provide a final opportunity to submit the documentation so that the applications for 2012/2013 can be closed out before the end of February. Support for students to complete their applications has been put in place.
A letter in this regard issued to the student in question on 7th February 2013.
