The Higher Education Authority's data, which are available at www.HEA.ie, indicate an almost 14% rise in full-time international student numbers between 2010/11 and 2012/13 in the institutions for which the HEA collects data. The figures for the English Language sector are estimates from Fáilte Ireland. The most recent relate to 2012, and they suggest a 28% increase between 2011 and 2012.
