Ms Niamh Muldoon:

Regarding the numbers in UCD, usually between 135 and 140 students are accepted every year, of which 82 places are allocated through the CAO. A handful of places go to people transferring either from science or agricultural science courses into year 2, and then a number of places are awarded to graduates coming from North America and Canada. There are 82 places through the CAO in UCD but, on average, there are about 135 to 140 students in the year.
