Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

Officials in my Department have confirmed with SUSI, the new centralised grant awarding authority, that on the 12th December, 2012 a request for further documentation was issued to the student referred to by the Deputy. When the requested documentation is returned the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
