The decision on eligibility for third level grants is a matter for the relevant assessing authority — i.e., in this case, Mayo County Council and Co Mayo VEC. These bodies do not refer individual applications to my Department except, in exceptional cases, where, for example, advice or instruction regarding a particular clause in the relevant scheme is required.
