Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 March 2013
231. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an appeal for a grant for Student Universal Support Ireland in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny. [14810/13]
View answerAn appeal from the student in question was considered by the independent Student Grants Appeals Board on the 5th March 2013. I understand that the appeal was unsuccessful and that the Appeals Board upheld the decision of the appeals officer and the awarding authority.
The student was notified of the outcome on 5th March 2013. Information in respect of a change of circumstances was subsequently received in my Department from the student on the 12th March 2013. This information was forwarded to the grant awarding authority which commenced a review of the application. On foot of this review, further documentation was requested from the student on 19 March 2013. When this is received and examined, the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
