Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2012
358. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a higher education access route grant will be granted to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37001/12]
View answerThe Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) is a third-level admissions scheme for students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The scheme is operated by a number of higher education institutions and not by my Department. Admissions to the institutions under this programme are regulated by the institutions themselves. Further details are available at www.accesscollege.ie.
