Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

I do not have that information with me today but we can certainly get it to the Deputy. The City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee, in partnership with a number of VECs and local authorities, placed on trial in advance the first step of the system, which was the online application. The general perception is that the initial online application, where somebody registers an interest in applying for student support, works quite well. The difficulties are with the follow-up in terms of providing the additional information, and so on. Certainly, we will pass on Deputy Nash's comments and we will come back to him with information on the expenditure on IT.
