Third Level Education
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-11
============================================================

Colm Burke (FG), Cork North-Central

I have raised this matter on a few occasions previously. Will the Minister outline what action is being taken to increase the percentage of places available on the dental training course in UCC, given that less than half the places on the current programme are occupied by Irish students, and that we need to increase the number of qualified dentists in this country?
