Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 October 2022
317. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if there is another route of getting into biological sciences and biomedical sciences if one cannot gain access through the traditional route of the CAO system (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraOutside of the typical points-based route, the main alternate routes into higher education are entry on the basis of a further education qualification, and entry as a mature student. There are alternative routes of entry to the course you have raised. I would encourage your constituent to seek advice from an Adult Guidance Service on the next steps available. This could be requested from the local education and training board. if the Deputy wishes to contact my office separately, I can make the details available.
