Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

My view is not completely at odds. I recognise it is a very challenging role, as are all senior public servant roles, but I do not believe the job is undoable. The HEA is on a journey of change to move into the area of regulation, oversight and policy advice. If we look at the nature of the job specification for the role that was advertised we see the emphasis put on this. We are listening to his concerns and we are trying to work through them.
