Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

Regarding the Minister of State's reference to the Higher Education Authority, is he in favour or does he have practical proposals and a timescale for the establishment of a human rights specialism? I support the interactive nature of human rights and development modules. Instead of existing staff attending existing development courses, does he favour the establishment of a human rights specialism in various institutions here, Africa and other countries? It would drive the issue forward.
