Over 1,100 extra third-level places for students who want to study for a career in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and other healthcare professions will become available in colleges across the country this year under a new €28.5m investment.
The announcement on Monday by Further and Higher Education Minister James Lawless comes amid high demand for these courses, which has left significant numbers of students with no option but to travel abroad to pursue their studies.
