Mr. Tom Boland:
The practice has ended but I will talk about the practice a bit. There are two aspects to this. Some institutions were excessively fragmenting their courses so, rather than a common entry to science, they would have biology and French and a range of different programmes like that. There was a huge increase in the number of programmes that the institutions were putting on and apparently that can elevate the points that are needed for entry to a particular course.
