On the systems, I took the opportunity this morning to look at the SUSI website which probably could be described more appropriately as a webpage. Essentially, it is a snapshot. I tried to get onto the SUSI icon and it did not take me to the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee, CDVEC. Clearly, I was aware that CDVEC is the appropriate authority to contact on the applications process.

It is quite difficult to negotiate around the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee website, particularly if one is trying to understand what additional paperwork one needs to send to the organisation. I have been told also it is particularly difficult to navigate the system if one is using, for example, an Apple device. I note that has been highlighted to SUSI. Has the Secretary General any idea how much the IT application system cost because it appears to be quite basic and contains some gaps?
