Dr. Colm O'Reardon:

I think the Cathaoirleach was referring to work being done by the Higher Education Authority. The HEA provided a further report to the PAC in April 2022. The message from that report was that there are issues about data collection. It would appear to be the case, based on what I have been able to find out while the meeting has been going on, that the HEA has been working to try to collect better information.
