Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2013
282. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a decision will be made on a grant appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon; the reason for the delay; the reason for the failure of Student Universal Support Ireland to respond to correspondence on this appeal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22776/13]
View answerOfficials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the student referred to by the Deputy has had his application reviewed and was issued with a decision that he was eligible for 50% fees on the 1st March 2013.
Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down in writing by SUSI and remains of the view that the scheme has not been interpreted correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to the independent Student Grant Appeals Board. The relevant appeal form will be available on request from SUSI.
