Ms Jean O'Mahony:

No, and this relates to an earlier point about the system responsiveness which I made when we were discussing this. It is exactly that. Currently, the State does not dictate, determine or put a target for how many engineering, French or whatever courses we should have. That is not the structure of third level education we have. One would ask oneself how the system responds then to the needs of society, the labour market and to people's individual academic or professional objectives. By and large, the system does respond to that demand, just to be clear. Tá sé soiléir nach bhfuil mé tar éis a bheith cruinn-----
