My Department sources its statistics on student enrolments from the HEA's Student Records System. The information sought by the deputy is outlined in the attached table which details the total number of medicine (undergraduate and graduate entry) enrolments broken down by HEI and Domicile Group.

The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly TD and I jointly announced an agreement with the Irish medical schools to increase the number of places available for EU students by 200 over the next five years. The agreement reached with the medical schools will begin with an additional 60 EU students in September 2022, climbing to 120 in September 2023, and up to 200 by 2026.
