I have.

Some weeks ago, I raised in this House the delay in the payment of third level student grants. What percentage of students have been paid their grants, to which they are entitled since that date? I know of two students, a young man who has pulled out of third level education, having had to apply twice for the third level grant as his original application was lost, the young girl hopes to hold on in college until the Christmas break. Both intend to emigrate early in the new year. They have not been served well as they have not received their rightful entitlements.
