Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2025
887. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the detailed breakdown of funding allocations for Hear and Dare for 2024, 2025 and 2026; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56831/25]
View answerThe Higher Education Route (HEAR) and the Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) are operated by the Irish Universities Association, on behalf of the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and my Department has no remit for this scheme. Under HEAR & DARE each institution determines its own admissions policy, the number of places to be reserved and the the allocation of those places.
My Department does not provide funding for the HEAR and DARE schemes and therefore the information that the Deputy has requested is not available.
