Ms Ginny Hanrahan:

One of my concerns is that we have career guidance teachers for people coming out of school who give them ideas. We would often talk to them and we have found issues with the UK colleges for speech and language therapies. For example, they do not teach swallowing protection, so that is an issue if they come back to Ireland and have to do it, so we talk to them about that. There is no such system for adult learners and we need to look at where adult learners can go and get centralised information on what courses they are applying for.
