Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Again, the timescale for processing the applications on hand is very quick. There is no difficulty processing applications on hand. We cannot give a definitive timescale until SUSI gets the information that is required. Where documentation is outstanding SUSI is working very closely to provide the final opportunity for students to submit documentation. If it is more than six weeks from the time SUSI contacted them and they have not responded, SUSI will close them out.

Otherwise, it is working closely with students to try to get the documentation back.
