Question 881: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Science if she will ensure that any student who has applied for a CAO place will not be disadvantaged and that their application will be accepted, albeit after the closing date, where there was a requirement to supply documentation from the Revenue Commissioners confirming parents' earnings in view of the fact that due to the recent industrial action it may not have been possible for a parent to access the information in time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) is a third-level admissions scheme for students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The scheme is operated by a number of higher education institutions and not by my Department. Admissions to the institutions are regulated by the institutions themselves. The Deputy may wish to contact the Irish Universities Association in this instance.
