Question:

249. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason for the delay in processing a student grant application in respect of a person (details supplied). [49325/13]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Officials have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the student referred to by the Deputy has been awarded a grant on 13 November, 2013.

The cause of the delay was due to the need to seek additional information because of a change in the applicant's circumstances.
