Basically Mr. Ó Foghlú does not agree with Dr. Love. I commend Dr. Love on going to this trouble and taking a very personal risk. I would have preferred if he had stayed in his role, to be honest, because I thought he was doing a very good job and was a very good witness before the committee. He made a decision and that is for him. It was very difficult for him to walk away from a job such as this, put in writing that he has serious concerns and essentially state that he is not able to do his job because the lines of demarcation between the HEA and the Department are unclear and he is not able to deliver the necessary strategic reforms. It is very troubling that Dr. Love has this view while the view of the Secretary General seems to be completely at odds with it. That is fine if that is his view-----
