Question:

228. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason there is no late application process under the disability access route to education scheme (details supplied). [10780/15]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) is a college and university admissions scheme which offers places on reduced points to school leavers with disabilities.

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 DARE scheme are also available at www.accesscollege.ie.
