I appreciate the Minister of State coming back with this information. I will need to go back to the parents and talk to them. The Minister of State stated that all the recipients received their full rate. As the Minister of State is replying on behalf of the Minister for Education and Science, I ask him to check with the Minister that the letter of offer received by the recipients of the Gaeltacht scholarship in 2007 stated that the grant payable was €6,110. This is the information I have received. I outlined in my contribution what the recipients have received so far which corresponds with what the Minister of State informs me are the maximum rates. The anomaly may be in what was presented to them in the letter of offer and I suggest we could follow this up privately.
