What is the HEA's response to this challenge? What is the authority doing about it? For example, in my constituency, GMIT, on the Mayo campus, has a new social work course with students going through it. In terms of uptake it is one of their most successful courses. I would imagine if other colleges were to run a similar course, there is demand from prospective students for them. Is the HEA planning to bring other courses online or to increase the capacity in the existing institutes of technologies and universities to churn out more graduates?
