Ms Suzanne Quin:

It is dated 5 October and the Minister states under the Department student grant scheme eligible candidates may receive funding provided they attend an approved course at an approved institution as defined in the scheme. He states the definition of an approved institution is set out in section 7 of the Student Support Act 2011 and regulation 3 of the Student Support Regulations 2016. He states that section 7 defines the matters the Minister for Education and Skills can consider when prescribing an educational institution as being an approved institution. The letter then lists the legislation.
