Ceist:

319. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a person (details supplied) in County Clare did not receive their Student Universal Support Ireland grant monthly payment on 31 May in view of the fact that they were informed by SUSI that they would receive their grant on the last Friday of every month until June 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that with regard to the student referred to by the Deputy an award letter was issued on the 21st February 2013. I also understand that all payments are up to date in this case.
