Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Third Level Student Grant System: Discussion with SUSI

2:45 pm

Mr. Philip Connolly:

In respect of the self-employed person, if somebody has an income of €75,000 and the business makes a loss, that income can be offset against the income from employment so that person could qualify for the grant too. If that is rental income, however, it cannot be offset.
