The opening statement is comprehensive and some of my questions have been answered. I certainly welcome the fact the Erasmus system will be used. Do we have an indication of the figure? Did we get €27 million for Erasmus last year? That has been committed to. That means there will not be any cost to the Exchequer for third level grants. It would purely come from Erasmus. Is that paid the same way as Erasmus, with 80% being paid upfront?

Could the Minister speak to that point, which I think is important?
