221. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a late application for the HEAR scheme will be accepted in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17336/14]
View answerThe Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) is a college and university admissions scheme which offers places on reduced points and extra college support to school leavers 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 are regulated by the institutions themselves. The Deputy may wish to contact the Irish Universities Association in this instance. Further details in relation to the HEAR scheme are also available at www.accesscollege.ie.
