Question 106: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the situation in relation to the DARE university access scheme; the way in which second level schools are made aware of this scheme; if there has been a specific awareness campaign for career guidance teachers; the position regarding a pupil (details supplied); if an exception can be made in this case as they now have no third level offers; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) is a third-level admissions scheme for students with a disability. 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.
