Mr. John Irwin:

There is a lot of good work going on all right but many people teaching computer science are teaching out of field, in the sense they will not necessarily have the full qualification, although they will have a huge interest. That might be because they were teaching maths or some of the technological subjects and then took an interest in computer science and brought it in and developed it within the school. Again, it is a bit like the courses that have been run in Limerick for upskilling people in mathematics and so on. It is to upskill people who are currently in the system, as that is often a better mechanism. Now it is on the curriculum we will possibly see undergraduates begin to come through into the educational sphere.
