View answerThe Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) is operated by the Irish Universities Association (IUA) on behalf of the higher education institutions who set the policy criteria for the scheme.
DARE does not come under the remit of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.
However, the question raised by the Deputy is outside of the aegis of DARE scheme. Questions on services offered or costs covered under a medical card are a matter for the Department of Health to consider and provide an answer on.
