It's generally always followed the pattern that if the number of places go down and demand remains relatively static, that the points will go up.

Some courses are regulated from above, but for the rest the college can decide, yes. Obviously if a college decides tomorrow to give 500 extra medicine places the Minister for Education would probably step in and open a can of whoop-ass over someone's head, but in the Universities at least they are free to do what they like in relation to the creation and deletion of courses. In Trinity, it was previously agreed that the max level of undergraduate students was set to remain at 11,500 (I think) or there abouts, but I remember reading something recently which said that this decision from 2003 or 2004 or so was changed to allow further undergraduates. Plus didn't you know that lecturers know everything?

As someone said to me before about Trinity: sure why let something like the Irish Government decide what's best for Trinity, given that relatively speaking they've only been around for a few years! There are countless arguments against this, but it's funny all the same.
