I have a question about Quality and Qualifications Ireland. An issue was brought to my attention recently about the accreditation of language schools. Apparently a good deal of work is going on in QQI in this area at the moment. A member of the public raised the problem with me. The person took the view that there were inordinate delays in the processing of applications. Does QQI have sufficient staff? Has the issue of staffing come up with the Minister? Does QQI have sufficient staff to ensure it can process applications in a timely manner?
