Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
My Department understands from Westmeath VEC that an application for the special rate of maintenance grant, introduced by my Department, has not been received from the student referred to by the Deputy. If an application is submitted, it will be assessed by the VEC which will then be in direct contact with the applicant once a decision has been made.
