The Deputy will be aware that Section 21(6) of the Student Support Act 2011, provides for a person who is aggrieved by a determination of the Appeals Board, to appeal to the High Court against that determination on a specified point of law.

The question of legal aid is a matter for the Legal Aid Board. Details of the services provided by the Legal Aid Board can be accessed at www.legalaidboard.ie.
