I know it is. It is also there with regard to the HSE. The purpose and justification for having a higher education authority is that it is a strong authority capable of providing oversight of the sector and acting as an advocate on the sector's behalf. Including this limitation on the CEO means he or she has less flexibility to act as a voice for the sector before this and other committees than an official in the Department. I am trying to get the balance.
