Disability Services
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-07
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

Today is the deadline for SUSI applications. A small number of students, including students with disabilities, were trapped abroad because of Covid and cannot now meet the residency requirement of being here for three of the past five years. Has the Minister any intention or plan to assist these students? They cannot complete their applications online after they state they have not been here. The system does not allow them to go any further. It is a serious issue for a small number of students, including a number with disabilities.
