    Hi Aisling, the blog looks great! And genuinely useful as well.
    You might like to mention DARE (Disability Access Route to Education) as well as HEAR- they're usually publicised together so a person would probably come across one through the other. Individual colleges have specific quotas of people they accept through this route. For example DCU have a 5% quota whereas UCD's first year intake quota is 15% - could make all the difference to a student!

    Thanks for comment and helpful advice Grainne. I'll do some research into DARE and post up some info.
