Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Education Progamme Fees: Quality and Qualifications Ireland

2:15 pm

Ms Trish O'Brien:

I refer to Claudia Darley's comment. There are complexities in the implementation of our current fees schedule. For instance, my colleague, Mary Sheridan, is engaging with the ETBs on ways to implement a fees schedule in that environment. We need to discuss the community and voluntary sector in that equation to see how we can apply this fees schedule in that context. We need to do that by engagement with ICTU and with Aontas. I do not doubt the committee will work with us to see how best to minimise the impact on the community and voluntary sector.
