As requested by the Deputy, the allocation of the Fund for Students with Disabilities per Institution from 2014 up to 2026 to date, can be found in tabular format in the attached documents.
Please note that following a review of the FSD it was recommended that it should change from being administered on an academic years basis to a calendar year basis. This change took place in 2020.
It is also worth noting that the make up of the Institutions and allocations have changed considerably since the introduction of Technological Universities.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
