But it also included, additional, student, supports. A major increase, in the student, assistance, fund. Extra funding, for mental health, and for students, with disabilities. It was perhaps, fortuitous. That the government had established. The new dedicated. Department, of further, higher education. Research, innovation, and science. Earlier, this year under minister, simon harris. This allowed, 168. Million to be, euros to be distributed, in our sector, to help maintain, your education. And the education, of those who come after you by providing. Those supports. And we got a generous, portion of that sum of money. Your experience, is the heart of what we do, and it is what we will always do. No matter the circumstances. This will remain true as we move towards our, technological. University. Status. Which is. Very, close at hand, which will strengthen, the benefits, we we can bring to students, their families, and to their communities.
