Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland that in the case of the student referred to by the Deputy, his student grant application was appealed to the Appeals Officer in SUSI and the original decision was overturned.

The student's application was reassessed and a revised award letter issued to the student on 15th March, 2013.
