I have a number of questions for the other three witnesses, the first of which is on the reform of SUSI. My view is that the system should be turned inside out and upside down to ensure real reform. Where would the witnesses start on the reform of SUSI if they had a blank sheet of paper?

It is my belief that every student should face as little cost as possible while pursuing third level education but they should give something back in return. A significant number of nurses and doctors emigrate when they qualify, for example. Should the State ask for something in return from graduates, like asking them to stay and work in the country for three, five or ten years? Is there any merit in such a proposal?
