We have provided significant investment to the Student Assistance Fund (SAF) over the last number of years and this academic year our core funding allocation of €9.1 million remains the same as previous years. We will continue to monitor the fund, with respect to demand as the academic year progresses.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
