Ceist:

608. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if there are any procedures being put in place to ensure that the SUSI grant applications involving temporarily laid-off workers from Tara Mines can be appropriately assessed given the fact those workers cannot get a letter of job cessation from Revenue; if he will provide an update on these procedures; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

If any applicant does not hear from SUSI in this respect I would advise them to contact SUSI either via email: [e-mail] or by phone [phone] and ask for a review of their application.
