Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
In terms of the availability of the student assistance fund, the HEA gets feedback from all of the higher education institutions regarding applications and need and then can seek additional funding from us in that regard. On two occasions in the past two and half to three years we have provided some additional funding to assist under the student assistance fund.
