Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Public Service Performance Report 2022: Discussion
Mr. Paddy Howard:
On the specific point in respect of PhD numbers, it is worth noting that indicator measures new PhD enrolments on foot of new calls. There was a timing issue in respect of that year. Some calls went out later than we expected. We expect the number to recover in the round and in future years.
