Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 February 2013
105. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the steps he is taking to ensure that Student Universal Support Ireland applications are being processed as efficiently as possible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9323/13]
View answerOfficials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland that in the case of the student referred to by the Deputy, his student grant application was appealed to the appeals officer in SUSI and the original decision was overturned. The student's application was reassessed and on the 8th February 2013, a request for further documentation was issued. When the requested documentation is returned the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
