Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 May 2013
237. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a person (details supplied) in County Clare who applied for a third level education grant to Student Universal Support Ireland in 2012 will receive a decision on their grant application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25192/13]
View answerOfficials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the student referred to by the Deputy appealed their decision. SUSI reviewed his application and he was issued with a decision on the 23rd May 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.
