Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

For the first time I wish to commend SUSI, the centralised third level grants organisation. In recent days I received a call from somebody in SUSI inviting me to the facility. This invitation is open to all Oireachtas Members who wish to see the new streaming system which has been put in place for the upcoming academic term. Let us hope the young people of Ireland in need of third level grants will receive them much more quickly and that lessons will have been learnt from last year's scenario.

I wish Kieran Coghlan the very best in his retirement. He has always been an absolute gentleman and full of friendly advice. When I started here first he was always available and gave advice, and in his contribution to the House and politics in general has been outstanding.
