I think that is right. The good news is we are not starting from scratch on this. I was at Longford Women’s Link recently, which is a superb organisation.

QQI’s role is key here. They are the custodians, guardians and protectors of quality of accreditation. Thankfully it is not me, my Department or the political system. It is QQI’s seal of approval.
