Which authority to apply to

pwd

When applying for the grant, do you apply to the authority for where you have been living for the previous year to applying, or to the authority for where you have been living the previous year to starting the course?

I think I might have been misinformed about this...Please link if you have the answer.

edit:

"normal residence" means the permanent or home address of the candidate’s parents or legal guardian. In the case of an independent mature candidate, his/her normal residence means the permanent or home address of the independent mature candidate.

which means Limerick. I was told by someone in the office 6 months ago it should be Dublin. Confused.
