For the sake of full context, one of the major universities, Dublin City University, is right at the heart of my constituency. Doctoral students and postgraduate students are a large group of my constituents, so I often interact with them around these grants. They are a tremendous support but I am curious about the future plans for, and the current execution of, them. Are there any plans for further administrative support? One of the key things that comes up is that people are often waiting months on quite modest bursaries of €16,000 per annum.
