I propose to take Questions Nos. 101 and 102 together.
Approximately 42% of students in full-time higher education in the 2011/12 academic year were in receipt of a student grant. The Deputy will appreciate that these figures are not yet available for the 2012/13 academic year.
In addition, I wish to advise that the awarding authorities do not collate information specifically on the percentage of direct entry medicine students or Irish/EU students in receipt of a student grant.
