47. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason that although details from an accountant are sufficient for the Revenue Commissioners, such details provided by an accountant regarding the amounts and times a particular employee was paid are not sufficient in terms of proving holiday earnings for students under the Student Universal Support Ireland grant scheme; if his attention has been drawn to the difficulty facing students in providing all payslips from 2012 holiday earnings when they were not aware at the time that the payslips would be needed at a later date; if his attention has also been drawn to the difficulty that this requirement is placing on small businesses and which could be a disincentive to providing holiday employment for future third level students; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
