Details regarding the special fund of €300,000 that I am making available for placenames research and its overall purpose were set out in the press release issued by my office on 6 January 2006, a copy of which I am forwarding to the Deputy. The fund is intended to provide bursaries for postgraduate students who select placenames as the basis for their study. As I indicated in the press release, a notice containing further information for potential applicants will be published shortly and I have arranged with my Department that a copy of the notice will also be provided to the Deputy.
