I propose to take Questions Nos. 86 and 87 together.

Data on the number of first year non-EU undergraduate students is not collected by my Department or the Higher Education Authority. Information is available on the domicillary origin of the overall student enrolment stock, including postgraduate and undergraduate students in the universities and institutes of technology.

The following table outlines the domicillary origin of students enrolled in full-time courses in third level institutions in 2002-03, the latest year for which information is available. The data is provisional pending final publication of my Department's statistical report to the period.
