Ms Aoife Conduit:

It would need to be recognised. We will also consider applications from survivors in the UK or elsewhere if they are doing a recognised programme and want to avail of it as well. We will try to make it as easy to access as possible. We are not interested in a big, bureaucratic exercise, like getting grants from Student Universal Support Ireland, SUSI, or any of that. We certainly do not intend it to displace any of the supports already available for people in accessing education. There are plenty of those, as the Deputy will be aware. This is an additional cash payment to help people with some expenses they may incur. As I said, we are going to be making it as simple and efficient as possible to apply for that.
