Its representatives have been before us on two occasions. There are a lot of serious issues in respect of CIT and my particular issue relates to the Higher Education Authority and the manner in which the review was carried out. In essence, the terms of reference were written by institute in respect of an investigation into itself. Can the Chairman offer guidance on how we deal with this? I would be happy to deal with it in the context of the report relating to the colleges. However, because of our work schedule, do we need to set aside time separately to deal with it? I am happy to deal with it as long as we do deal with it in the context of the report, which would be my preference.
