Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Student Grant Application System: Discussion with SUSI

12:30 pm

Ms Kay Cullinane:

I will take the question on the notice of assessment for the self-employed. In the main, if someone is self-employed we seek a notice of assessment and a copy of the accounts that he or she lodged in order to obtain that notice of assessment. That is the standard documentation for which we ask. As Mr. Prizeman stated, if there are questions about an individual case we would be happy to look into it. However, the normal documentation requested of the self-employed consists of the notice of assessment and the accounts submitted.
