There is no mention of the merger of the south-east technological universities in the scheme of the Bill. How can we speed up the merger? Mr. Donohoe of IBEC mentioned concerns about quality. Could he expand on the main concerns from the perspective of IBEC? Is it regarding general educational standards? This is a very important issue and in this economic climate we need to target our graduates regarding business and the IBEC perspective. Would anyone else like to contribute on concerns about quality through these mergers?
