The HEAR scheme is operated by the Irish Universities Association (IUA) who set the policy criteria for the scheme. Admissions under the scheme is regulated by the higher education institutions themselves. Each institution determines its own admissions policy in relation to the scheme, the number of places they reserve and the allocation of those places.
My Department does not have a direct role in any schemes which are within the remit of the Higher Education Institutions rather than any Government department. The applicant can contact the CAO directly about this issue. Under GDPR the CAO cannot discuss an applicant's specific details with a third party.
