I will put this in context. I do not expect Dr. Love to comment on Government policy but I do on the matter of student fees and student loans because the university and third level sector is in trouble. I see report after report and huge problems holding the system to account on the part of the HEA and the heads of the universities. In that context, the HEA has a very important role to inform us of what is going on, is that not right? The witnesses are representing the Higher Education Authority. The HEA has all these roles. Does it have enough staff?
