I have a couple of questions. What is the term of his contract and what does he feel he can achieve within that time constraint?

The post-Brexit situation is an issue that affects us all. How does Mr. Horgan see that affecting his particular area, and what risks and indeed opportunities might there be for Ireland regarding Brexit?

He mentioned apprenticeships, an area which is vitally important to our future. How does he see that developing? A key issue for me is the speed of delivery of apprenticeships.

Earlier he talked about and seemed to be a champion of lifelong learning and online learning. How do we compare internationally in these areas? These are doors that can open up education to people who it would have passed by heretofore. We should concentrate on these areas.

Finally, I hope I am correct in saying that institutes of technology are not allowed to borrow money at present to enhance their facilities and so on.
