Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland that on the 2nd January 2013, a request for further documentation was issued to the student referred to by the Deputy. As soon as the requested documentation is returned the student will be notified directly of the outcome. Where particular financial difficulties arise in the meantime, an application may be made to the Student Assistance Fund through the access office of the relevant college.
