Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 January 2011
169 Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a third level grant appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow; if this case can be re examined and awarded; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48239/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm to the Deputy that an appeal was received by my Department on 17/11/10 from the student to which he refers in relation to an unsuccessful application for a student grant.
The appeal was examined and a decision issued to the student on 18/11/2010.
The original decision of the awarding authority was upheld as the reckonable income in this case exceeded the income limits prescribed for grant eligibility in the applicable grant scheme.
