Amharc ar fhreagraOfficials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the student referred to by the Deputy was issued an award letter on the 19th December 2013.

SUSI have confirmed that they issued a letter on the 22nd January 2014 requesting the applicant to forward his bank details. On the 18th February 2014, SUSI issued an email to the applicant requesting him to enter his bank details on line. SUSI confirmed that to date they have not received details from the applicant. The applicant's bank details should be submitted to technical.queries@susi.ie in order to be included in the next payment date.
