Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

On the first issue, the Deputy obviously is correct. As part of the processing, it was very important that there was an internal appeals mechanism and that obviously has been very effective in addressing issues. As I stated earlier, we have a concern about the number of decisions overturned and have asked for a report from SUSI on that issue. The statutory appeals board is established under the Student Support Act and as for awareness of it, I will have to check the extent to which people who are refused an appeal within SUSI are formally informed this second process is in place.
