Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Fundamental questions about governance will arise if they refuse to comply on a continuing basis. Further legislation may be required. As I have said, we are putting in place a revised set of governance arrangements for the Higher Education Authority and the universities. We will have discussions on this at the Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection. Forthcoming legislation relating to the institutes of technology sector is being drafted at the moment and has been considered by the joint committee. Governance will be strengthened by a number of different Bills.
