Does the Minister have any plans to allow students who are in receipt of SUSI grant funding to work at weekends? We know how important that is and he has made changes for people and families. This would enhance students’ work ethic. Moreover, families and students are stretched beyond belief by the cost-of-living crisis. Students should be allowed to work within the scope of their application without being punished.
