The decision on eligibility for third level grants and the issue of grant awards is a matter for the relevant local authority or VEC.
My Department contacted Kildare County Council, the awarding body for the student's address, and was advised that an application was not received from the student referred to by the Deputy. In the absence of an application it is not possible to advise on the student's eligibility for grant assistance.
