Again, that is down to each college. If the committee approves today's Vote and the Supplementary Estimate passes, the Department will place the funds with the Higher Education Authority which is working in the background in preparation for all this with each of the colleges mentioned. Each institution will decide locally how it will approach issues such as those raised by the Deputy, where a fourth year student who is not on a SUSI grant has all of his or her fees paid. Ultimately, in that example, that college will have to do a cash refund.
