Written answers

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

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.
