The brother who has received payment fears that he will be chased for its return. It is distressing for him, given the fact that he obviously cannot afford to attend college.
I presume that there will be a review of SUSI's operation at some stage. Will the Minister provide the timeframe of such a review? The priority is to get through as many applications and payments as possible, but will the Minister indicate what type of review will be conducted? Would there be a role for the Oireachtas education committee or will the review be done by departmental and SUSI officials solely?
