Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
277. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will expedite a student grant appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37060/13]
View answerOfficials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland that in the case of the student referred to by the Deputy, following an appeal to the SUSI Appeals Officer the original decision of the awarding authority was upheld and a decision letter issued on 12th July 2013. Where an appeal is turned down in writing by SUSI and the applicant remains of the view that the scheme has not been interpreted correctly in his or her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to the independent Student Grants Appeals Board. The relevant appeal form will be available on request from SUSI.
