Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that in the case of the student referred to by the Deputy that she previously attended a course of study in the academic year 2012/2013.

Students who have previously attended, but not completed an approved course of study are required to complete an equivalent period of study on an approved course before being eligible to be considered for a grant. Payments of student grants are made monthly in arrears. I understand from SUSI that the student in question is entitled to maintenance from November and will be paid in December.
