Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2015
756. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an application under the higher education access route by a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28300/15]
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. Individual students who have queries on this matter can contact HEAR Higher Education Institutions directly. The Deputy may wish to contact the Irish Universities Association in this instance.
