The Irish Dental Association said over 1,000 students are now looking for around 100 available college places in Ireland this year. Despite having attained the top Leaving Cert marks necessary, some will lose out to random selection.

Last month, the the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) University of Medicine and Health Sciences opened a purpose-built €12m Dental Education Centre in Sandyford which it says will be a significant step towards addressing the national shortage of dentists.

The new course has funding to provide 20 new dentistry places per annum for Irish and EEA students from the Higher Education Authority. Ten of those places will go to international students.For more on this story and all the latest Irish and international news - http://www.rte.ie/news
