I have a few questions. Does a letter issue to students that they can show college administrators confirming they have made a grant application in order that they can use the facilities?

When people make tax returns online, only digital copies are available, yet the students are asked for original documents from Revenue. Will Ms Stewart clarify the position on that?

I refer to the Deputy Griffin's question about applications being processed by Christmas. Will applications be outstanding at that stage? Ms Stewart said earlier that she believed that of the applications received, 15,000 will not proceed because the applicants have probably realised they are not eligible when they were asked for documentation. How many applications will remain to be assessed after Christmas? Did SUSI consult VECs and local authorities around the country about potential pitfalls? I acknowledge CDVEC did this.
