Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Regulation of the English Language Sector: Discussion
Mr. Fiachra ? Luain:
We have asked QQI to include agents in what it is going to do. It has said that it will have powers to audit schools and make sure that the money is tracked. So far, however, we do not see any appetite on the part of the State to regulate agents or agencies. It has refused even to carry out an income-over-expenditure analysis, which is ridiculous.
