Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 December 2020
28. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Social Protection if she has met with the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science on the status of Covid-19 payments and the way in which they will impact SUSI applicants. [39990/20]
View answerThe Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science is responsible for the policy around the conditionality of the SUSI grant. The decision on eligibility for a grant is a matter for SUSI to determine, based on a student’s income from all sources. My Department has ongoing engagement with the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science on a range of issues regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
