Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Senator Paul Daly spoke about students with practical experience, as did Deputy Leddin. The points system is one thing but we should take into account the large number of people who studied agricultural science or went to agricultural college and have gained huge practical experience because they would make fantastic vets. They may not have the points to do so, however. That may be a debate for another day. Is Dr. Wall aware of other courses available outside Ireland where practical experience is taken into account?
