    Hi everyone just wondering I'm a second year student getting a maintenance grant from Fingal. Last year I got all my installments in one as I wasn't accepted for ages.
    Just wondering when they usually give out the installments?
    Friends have gotten theres in mid-late January. Fingal seem to be the latest and when I call them the lady on the phone tells me different times every day (mid February, late February, mid Feb again).
    Really stuck for cash atm so getting a bit frightened about this.
    Thanks for any replies.

    Maybe get onto some local councillors and ask them to see if they can sort it out for you

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I think it could be this Friday, did you get the email to declare you are still attending college. Usually when you receive that you get it a week or two after.

    Yeah I completed the confirmation of attendance about a week ago. Every time I call they tell me a later time. I can barely afford train fare atm (parents are paying, but they're both unemployed so haven't much to spare)
    Might email a councillor or two now, thanks for the help guys.
