Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 October 2013
123. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of post-leaving certificate, PLC, places funded by his Department in each education training board area; and the number of PLC students in each ETB area. [42191/13]
View answerThere are currently 32,688 approved Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) places available nationwide. Over 90% of PLC provision is delivered by ETBs with the remainder delivered by voluntary secondary and community and comprehensive schools.
The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table. The enrolment data provided is for the 2012/2013 academic year as the enrolment data for the current academic year is not yet available. ETBs have been allocated the same number of PLC places as the corresponding VECs were allocated last year.
