Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 October 2013
92. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of Student Universal Support Ireland applicants still awaiting decisions for 2012-2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44057/13]
View answerI understand from Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that no applicant is awaiting a decision from SUSI on their grant application for 2012/13. All those who applied for a grant in 2012/13 have at this stage been either awarded, refused or had their applications cancelled, whether at the applicant's request (where not proceeding) or for failure to provide complete or sufficient documents. Applicants may seek to have the decision on their application reviewed on appeal. The appeals process is a separate statutory process that follows from the giving of a decision on an application by SUSI and separate statutory timeframes apply.
