The entry requirements to the various courses in third level colleges are a matter for the authorities of the individual colleges and relevant validating body where appropriate. I would accept that the different requirements may cause an element of confusion for parents and prospective students and accordingly I am having this whole matter examined in my Department. I do not know at this stage where changes will be possible and in any event the examination of the matter, which is quite complex, would not be completed in time to make changes in the procedures for 1987.
