Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 February 2026
1239. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the scholarships that may be available for a Palestinian citizen pursuing postgraduate medical studies (details supplied); and the way they can be accessed. [9181/26]
View answerMy Department has two scholarship programmes - the Government of Ireland International Education Programme and the Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Programme - which are open to applications from Palestinian students. As autonomous bodies, it is open to Higher Education Institutions to also put scholarship programmes in place, and a number of Irish universities have already done so. For this reason, it is recommended that the person should contact the Admissions Office of a university to see if any scholarships may be available to support their education.
