I thank all of our witnesses for coming here today, as well as attending as observers in our previous session with the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan. I very much appreciate what the witnesses have outlined in that, in other words, we need sort of a minimum qualification for SNAs in our sector. You would see something similar even in the healthcare assistant side, where the level 5 Quality and Qualifications Ireland, QQI, would be very important.

Ms O’Sullivan mentioned that she just did the course. She is an SNA and she did the first course through UCD. There seems to be a certificate that is provided through the course. I am presuming that all students who have completed the course would have received a certificate-----
