To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide in tabular form an up to date breakdown of third level students on a county basis who have had their maintenance grant application accepted by Student Universal Support Ireland but have still to receive payment; the number of students who have appealed the decision of SUSI and are awaiting the outcome of that decision; and the numbers of students who are still waiting to have their appeal heard.

As requested by the Deputy, I am providing a breakdown of the 1,833 third level students on a county basis who have been awarded a maintenance grant and are now due to be paid by Student Universal Support Ireland. This data has been supplied to my Department by Student Universal Support Ireland. 781 PLC students are also due to be paid. The majority of these students currently awaiting payment will be paid within the next two weeks, depending on their submission of bank account details.
As at the 6th February, 2013 Student Universal Support Ireland had received some 4,892 appeals. Of these, decisions have been made in 4,057 cases and have yet to be made on the remaining 835. I understand that staff have been reassigned to the processing of appeals to ensure that students get decisions in a timely manner. Higher Education
