Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

The position is that the information requested by the Deputy is not available at this stage. I have asked the Higher Education Authority (HEA) to contact each institution in this regard and when this information is collated I will send the information to the Deputy.
