Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 February 2015
553. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Education and Skills if recognition will be provided by Student Universal Support Ireland towards insolvency arrangements in the calculation of reckonable income for the purposes of student grant awards; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6115/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the terms of the student grant scheme, grant assistance is awarded to students who meet the prescribed conditions of funding, including those relating to nationality, residency, previous academic attainment and means.
The Deputy will appreciate that, in the absence of all of the relevant details that would be contained in an individual's application form and supporting documentation, it is not possible to say whether or not a particular student would qualify for a grant.
The eligibility of the individual to which the Deputy refers is a matter for SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland) to determine; upon receipt of the relevant application form and supporting documentation.
