Mr. Frank Jones:

I do not think it is a misreading. By repeatedly rolling over fixed-term contracts, we are not keeping the best people in higher and further education. The Deputy is correct. The committee will be well aware of the situation and has made strong recommendations with timelines. Unfortunately, for the committee and for all of us in the sector, they have not been applied.

If there was more certainty of employment and less precarity across the sector, we would retain the best.
