The total number of first year enrolments on the undergraduate degree medicine courses in higher education institutions in Ireland since the 2010/2011 academic year is contained in the following table. I have also included data on first year enrolments to the graduate entry to medicine programmes, which are undergraduate medical courses specifically designed for graduate students. The information is categorised based on the student's domicile of origin on entry to the course as follows: Irish Students; Students from the European Union; Students from outside the European Union.

The details sought by the Deputy are not readily available in my Department. Officials of my Department have requested the Higher Education Authority to seek to collate the information and I will arrange for it to be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
