Also, at the assessment stage, the number of staff has been increased from 55 to 96. Any responses we have had from the Minister on this have indicated that SUSI has a staff of 65 and that it would be increased to 85. The Minister does not seem to know how many staff are working in SUSI. I heard him say on a radio programme this morning that he does not fully understand why the grants process is where it is at. How much engagement has Ms Stewart had with the Minister, Deputy Quinn, in recent weeks? Has he met her or how many times has he been in touch with her to check how this process is moving along and what exactly is happening?
