Mr. Paul Hannigan:

With regard to the action plan for education, terms of reference were set out under various headings under which submissions were made, but it did not seem to me at the time that they referred directly to higher education. Perhaps this is a common issue for everybody around the table. Subsequently, I have seen presentations by officials from the Department on the plan and higher education is a part of it, but the initial request for submissions did not address the issues regarding higher education.
