Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Taking those one by one, I said I was not aware whether students are referred, and I am not aware. I was going to say I assume that they are, as part of the appeals process because it is a statutory process. They are. It is a robust internal mechanism that they have in place and it has turned over a number of cases.

It is a statutory appeals process. It is on the Statute Book. I understand that the rationale is that a second Ombudsman check, where there is already a statutory check in place, was not deemed necessary. We can reflect on Deputy Seán Fleming's view and come back to him, but SUSI has been quite effective in being open to having its internal appeals process in place.
