Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the efforts that were made to co-ordinate the timing of the leaving certificate results and UCAS deadlines and to communicate the timing of those results with the UCAS system in the UK to allow Irish students take-up courses; the number of students who were unable to take-up places at UK universities in 2021 as a result of the delay in results and the failure to come to agreement with UCAS universities; and the number of those students who chose to take-up a place in an Irish third-level course rather than defer until 2022 thereby reducing the total number of students able to take up third-level courses.
