To clarify my question on that, I agree that SUSI is to be complemented on its extraordinary achievement in a couple of short years in having settled down as it has. It provides a superb service which all of us as public representatives would acknowledge. Certainly, I would and I have no difficulty with SUSI. The issue is where someone does not fit the typical box. My specific question is whether the Minister is satisfied that the appeals system is robust enough and sufficient discretion is afforded to the appeals process under her Department in reviewing these cases to accommodate genuine applicants?
