On further education, the witnesses identified that the HEA and SOLAS are engaged on a cross-Border basis. Springboard, the human capital initiative and Skillnet are not operating in a cross-Border way. I do not know if there are comparable bodies in the North. We have made changes to the CAO process in that we now have a new tier through which people can make applications for further education. Are we seeing enough joined-up thinking there? Are we seeing student flows between the North and South in the areas of apprenticeships?
