Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

I understand that the course in question is run only on the LIT Tipperary Clonmel campus. The CAO have received 101 applications for this course in the forthcoming academic year 2013/14. I have sought information on the direct cost of educating students on this course in the LIT Tipperary Clonmel Campus from the HEA and the information will be forwarded to the Deputy when it is to hand.
