Grant Payments
Dail Éireann — 2026-05-12
============================================================

Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

It is very unfair that only income from work during holidays is considered for students who wish to avail of the SUSI grant. If they have a small weekend job they lose out, as there is no disregard for that. What is the reason for this? If they have a bit of work for weekends, why not allow it to be disregarded, like the holiday pay? Youngsters appreciate work.
