Mr. Tom Boland:
The success of the sector, if I can put it that way, is down to the institutions and the principle of autonomy of institutions, with their responsibility within that autonomy to look after their internal affairs. That is very important. No HEA of any size could manage the system in a direct way. By and large, the success is down to the institutions.
