A Dublin medical student’s Susi grant doesn’t cover half of petrol costs it takes to travel to college.
Evelyn Flynn, a final year medical student from Athboy in County Meath commutes to college and placement.
She pays €80 for one tank of petrol to do her for a week which is needed to get to college placements in hospitals but she only receives €33.75 from her weekly Susi maintenance grant.
