Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Professor Barbara Dooley:
Pretty much all of them. It is a huge number. We prioritise our international students for access to accommodation on campus as well. When we are looking at how we allocate our resources, which are limited, the number one group comprises those coming through the CAO. They are our most vulnerable group - they are transitioning from second level and coming to UCD for the first time and they are younger. The others are those international students who are coming to UCD for the first time. It is our priority to make sure they transition well when they come onto our campus.
