Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the student referred to by the Deputy was awarded a Postgraduate Fee Contribution of €2,000 in respect of attendance on a Postgraduate Diploma in Primary Education in Mary Immaculate College. As this award type does not contain a provision for field trip expenses the student is not eligible for same.
