Seán Fleming: This came from City of Dublin Education and Training Board. It is the public body that processes the applications on behalf of SUSI. This rule probably comes from the Department of Education and Skills. We need to write to the Accounting Officer of the Department for his comments in light of what has been said here and try to find a better way of assisting people who should be entitled to...

Perhaps we should look for...
