Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 May 2016
132. Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will accept an appeal by a person (details supplied) who never received a notice of determination from Student Universal Support Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11207/16]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware of the provisions in the Student Support Act 2011 which provide for appeals to Appeals Officers within SUSI. Determinations of Appeals Officers can in turn be appealed to the independent Student Grants Appeals Board.
The Deputy will appreciate that it would be inappropriate for me to seek to interfere in this statutory independent appeals process. However, my officials have informed me that SUSI has recently been in touch with the student to discuss her appeal.
