Student support application delays

Summary

Pearse Doherty begins raising delays in student-support applications, but the Ceann Comhairle says the matter has been admitted as a later Topical Issue and will not be debated then.

I refer to the legislation passed to centralise the system of student supports which was supposed to get rid of delays. We are almost into November and 20% of student applications-----

I am sorry, but the Deputy is out of order.

I have allowed this to be raised as a topical issue for debate today. In fairness to the Deputy who has raised it, I will not allow a debate on the issue now.
