1473. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if his Department has assessed the cost of providing for SUSI and other supports to be available specifically for students who must undertake unpaid summer placement as part of their course; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36923/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraI nor my Department have no role in relation to financial supports for students on unpaid summer placements as part of their courses by the relevant higher education institutions. This is a matter for the relevant Department with responsibility for the related placements. Queries related to placements and financial supports should be addressed to the relevant Department in the first instance.
