    also,

    "Figures released by the Central Applications Office show no increase in numbers applying for third-level courses this year compared to last.
    More than 71,000 people have made initial applications for college places for 2011 - a very slight decrease on last year's numbers."

    will the 25 bonus points in maths for 2012 cause an increase in points in the future??

    only in high level courses which are normally the target of honours math students

    25 extra points for a HD3 will probably mean an increase in the number of students who try honours maths.

    I'd say points for a lot of mid to high level courses will go up 5 points or so
