Written answers

Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the applicant referred to by the Deputy has been awarded a grant and an award letter issued on 1st July, 2013. SUSI also confirmed that they are awaiting an invoice from the applicant's college for the fees. Regarding the payment of fees, where a student has informed the institution that a decision is awaited from the grants system, I understand that SUSI has a facility in place allowing institutions to liaise with it directly to confirm the status of an individual application, so that students can access their examination results.
