    I think your parents need to be earning less than 50,000 in a year(last year more specifically). You might need a medical card. I think no one in your family(mother.father,brother,sister) can't have gone to college. Theres a good few of those ''boxes'' that you need to have ''clicked''.

    I'm not sure on those though. On the CAO site go to the HEAR thing there on your application page and see that for more information.

    I think the socio economic thing is quite hard to understand. My dad is self employed, we don't have a medical card and my brothers were already in college when I spplied. We were obviously poor enough for al lthat to be overlooked! :pac:

    If you think you may be eligible , as my guidance councellor said "Sure apply anyway, what harm can it do?"

    It's actually 51,000 dual or 24,000 if single income

    You need to meet 3 of the 6 check points, you can find the flyers here: http://www.accesscollege.ie/hear/info.php, but this one: http://www.accesscollege.ie/hear/includes/pdfs/hear_brochure.pdf, is most helpful.
