It is unlike the Tánaiste not to get back to a Deputy and I will certainly raise that matter with him. The Government and the Minister, Deputy Harris, are very aware of the important role of SUSI and how it helps many families deal with the growing cost of further and higher education. It is the reason the Minister made the first significant changes in the SUSI eligibility criteria for many years. He did so in recognition of the importance of the scheme to which the Deputy referred. I will speak to the Tánaiste's office and we will ensure it contacts the Deputy, if it has not already done so, with a detailed answer on the point he raised with me.
