DARE is a third level alternative admissions scheme for school-leavers under the age of 23 as of 1 January 2023  whose disabilities have had a negative impact on their second level education. 

Applicants to DARE can present with an Irish Leaving Certificate, A-Levels and/or other EU qualifications.

DARE offers reduced points places to school leavers who, as a result of having a disability, have experienced additional educational challenges in second level education.

Find out if your disability is one considered under the DARE scheme.
