I appreciate the scale of what Ms Kealy is talking about but we must be honest with her in terms of what is possible.

The Minister does not have competence in respect of private companies, but there is an obligation to ensure that systems are in place to protect against this happening. I think that is where Mr. Kealy is coming in respect of how the IAA, when examining the accounts, looked at the wrong company - the parent company as opposed to the subsidiary, which was directly taking the student fees. In respect of the IAA and the discounts Mr. Kealy mentioned, does the authority run those schools or courses?
