Mr. Philip Connolly:

The concept of holiday earnings in recognised within the scheme we administer for the Department. There is a limit of €7,925 that students can earn in non-term time. Our website, susi.ie, contains all the information and allows students to see what they can earn in non-term time. Students who have earned holiday earnings can notify us through our application form. We will then get the information from the students and deduct it from their earnings over the year. The scheme allows us to reduce students' reckonable income by €7,925 in respect of earnings earned outside term time.
