Ms Ginny Hanrahan:

Essentially, as I said, we regulate all these professions for the first time. We are now reviewing what we call the criteria, which is what the college needs. We will come up with a solution in respect of that issue. There are 12 separate boards within our organisation for the various professions. We are looking at a more sustainable regulation model whereby we will consider how we can simplify matters and be more efficient in how we deliver this. It is in the context of the criteria that governance is looked at. We will be looking at a model where we hear once from a college and then progress. It just takes time. When you are starting off with a new profession, you have to be satisfied that everything is okay. Professor Sheils is in Trinity, where a lot is established. However, for many of the colleges, the first time they have had a regulatory review has been through CORU. It is looking at getting that balance right.
