Ceist:541. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) in County Laois who is in receipt of one-parent family payment will be approved for a SUSI grant for a third level education course where the application was not submitted in the original timescale because the person who was on this payment was advised by the Department of Social Protection that if they were returning to college, they should apply for the back to education allowance which they did and then were told they were not eligible for the grant because they are in receipt of this payment and then sought to have their payment transferred back to the one-parent family payment to make them eligible, by which time they were informed by SUSI they were too late to make the application; if she will ensure that this person is not left without their SUSI grant and that a decision be made to accept this application which is due to circumstances between two Departments outside the control of the person concerned; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
