DIT welcomes applications from students with disabilities. Disability liaison officer Linda Maguire is there with information and advice - and there's a special booklet. When such students apply to DIT through the CAO, Maguire will send them a short questionnaire to assess the level of support you may require.

Funding is available for extra support and facilities for students who apply in time. For information, contact Maguire - phone (01) 402 3412, fax (01) 402 3399.
