I propose to take Questions Nos. 508 and 509 together.

I expect that the 2006 student support schemes will be issued shortly. The application forms and notes for the 2006/07 academic year has issued both electronically and in hard copy to the awarding bodies and the forms and notes are also available on the Department's website at www.education.ie.
