    You need the IT31 form from www.revenue.ie

    Bear in mind its difficult to get them back as you may be inelligible. See the information page http://www.revenue.ie/index.htm?/leaflets/it31.htm for further details. I didnt get any of mine back over the last 4 years and I've no idea why despite fullfilling all the criteria and they always give me the runaround when I quiz them on it.

    Edit: "Comewatmay": It is possible to get the full annual postgraduate fee paid on your behalf by the HEG but again criteria such as distance from the college and the type of postgrad you undertake factor into how much you may potentially receive.
