An additional 1,000 Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) places were made available as part of the Government's Jobs Initiative. Following an application process, 55 of these places were allocated to Dún Laoghaire Vocational Education Committee (VEC), which manages Dún Laoghaire College of Further Education, bringing the VEC's total allocation for the 2011/2012 academic year to 2,206 places. Further distribution of these places to its schools/colleges is a matter for the VEC. The application process is completed and all available additional places have been allocated.
