That is new to me.

How much does the university pay out on the student assistances fund and the hardship fund? If the witnesses do not have the details here, they could send us a note on how many applications were received and how much was paid out, and how many did not get it. As Deputies, we regularly meet families who run into financial difficulties and there is the cost of rent going up. We all know the situation. There are probably people driving to Cork and back every day from places as far away from Laois because they cannot afford a place.
