Select Committee on Education and Skills
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Rose Conway-Walsh (Mayo, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I appreciate that, and thank the Minister. I have done months of consultations as well as being rapporteur for the education committee on all-island enrolment. Very interesting issues have arisen there in terms of the barriers that exist. I believe that we can deal with many of them together and I would rather deal with the Minister in a collaborative way to increase the education opportunities at third level right across the country. That can only be of benefit to all students right through the lifecycle from all communities so I do want to work with the Minister. Rather than call a vote I could have further discussions with the Minister and revisit it on another Stage. This matter is really important to all of us. I withdraw my amendment and will bring it forward on a later Stage after further discussion.
