Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
1300. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he will provide a full list of all institution and courses that provide allocated places for students from Northern Ireland or make special arrangements for those applying with A-levels; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18837/21]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is not held by my Department.
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are autonomous and manage their own academic affairs including admissions procedures. The CAO process applications for undergraduate courses on behalf of the HEIs. Decisions on admissions are made by the HEIs who then instruct the CAO to make offers to successful candidates. The number of places allocated to any specific cohort of students, including students from Northern Ireland, is a matter for the individual HEIs.
