Question:194 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Education the total number of applicants for full-time courses in each of the regional technical colleges for the year 1990-1991; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Applications for RTC Courses.
The information requested by the Deputy is not available in my Department.
The administration of admissions to courses in regional technical colleges in 1990-91 was a function of the individual colleges.
Because of the large number of students who applied to more than one college, information on the overall number of applications would not be a reliable indication of the number of applications or of the demand for places in the RTCs.
