Question:

426. Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the estimated cost of increasing SUSI grants by 10%, and the income threshold by 10%; the impact of the changes across bands; the number of additional students that would benefit in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

Officials from my Department are currently liaising with SUSI on this matter. Due to the complex nature of the query it is not possible to give the Deputy an answer at this stage. Once the information has been collated it will be forwarded to the Deputy directly in the coming days.
