Questions (125)

Jonathan O'Brien

Question:

125. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 75 of 2 July 2014, of the 50 students who received a payment from Student Universal Support Ireland but were required to repay it, if he will provide a breakdown for each person of the amount of money initially awarded; the specific reason for rescinding the award; the amount of moneys repaid; if the person was required by SUSI to repay in lump sum or by instalment; and if they were allowed to proceed with studies while repaying SUSI or were prevented from doing so until they repaid the full sum to SUSI, in tabular form. [30331/14]

Written answers

The following table made available to my Department by SUSI, provides details in relation to the 50 students referred to by the Deputy who received a payment from SUSI.

SUSI has a flexible repayment policy whereby students are invited to propose a repayment plan in line with their ability to repay. The question of whether or not a student may proceed with their studies while repaying any grant overpayment does not fall within the remit of SUSI.
