Public Accounts Committee

HEA Financial Statements 2017

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Of course I am concerned but I consider there has been significant strategic development in the sector, particularly during Dr. Love's time in office. I highlighted some of it in my opening statement. The developments on the funding model and the technological universities are two very good examples of this. We are working through change. I recognise that the role of the chief executive of the HEA must balance various interests between strategy and governance, as do all senior public servants. We are all working on these challenges. I am concerned when he raises them with me but I believe we have been advancing a significant strategic agenda for change in higher education.
