I will ask my officials to raise that with Revenue. Certainly it should be put up on the website and if it is up, it should be made more prominent, as young people access the websites. Some €12,000 is the maximum relief available under the new regime, but it can apply to more than one loan - it can apply to two loans. For example, if there are two students and two spare rooms and the term is something over 30 weeks and they are paying €200 each, one can see how the total might run up to €12,000, but that is the maximum. I hope it makes a difference, but I cannot guarantee it.
