Third Level Education
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-08
============================================================

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

The Government has decided to deny the students the choice when it comes to this year's leaving certificate. This is despite students having come through years of a severely disrupted leaving certificate cycle. I and Sinn Féin believe that that is wrong and they should have had a choice. Students deserve to be given a choice. What steps has the Minister taken to ensure additional places are made available on the in-demand courses, particularly those courses where there is both a high demand and a skills shortage?
