Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 7 September 2018
310. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) will be retrospectively considered for the DARE programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36350/18]
View answerThe Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) offers places at reduced points to school leavers with disabilities. Admissions under the DARE scheme is regulated by the institutions themselves and not by my Department. Each higher institution determines its own admission policy in relation to DARE, the number of places they reserve for DARE and the allocation of those places.
Any requests for more detailed information about DARE and this particular application should be directed to the Central Applications Office (CAO) (www.cao.ie) who coordinate the DARE scheme for participating institutions.
