PQ 1135
1135. Deputy Robert O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he will review the current SUSI grant assessment criteria, given that some parents are being penalised where a dependent child previously worked full-time but is now returning to full-time education, resulting in the loss of that income; if he will consider allowing this change in circumstances to be reflected in the means assessment so that families are not unfairly excluded from grant support; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
