Applications for places on individual Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses are made directly by learners to the relevant schools and colleges. My Department does not receive details of such applications.

A county by county breakdown of enrolment on the PLC programme, as supplied by PLC providers through the annual October Returns, for the 2007/2008, 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 academic years is set out in the table below.
