We clearly want to avoid students dropping out owing to financial hardship. I am pleased to hear about the additional funding.
Deputy Conway-Walsh spoke about people outside the jurisdiction. I ask the Minister of State to let the secretariat know how many students outside the jurisdiction are in receipt of a SUSI grant and the rebate. It would be helpful for discussion in the context of a SUSI review for next year. It would certainly inform us.
