Seán Haughey (Dublin North Central, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Deputies for their contributions and co-operation on this legislation. In particular, I thank Deputy Quinn for bringing forward his proposals to ensure more accountability. I agree with him on the broader objectives of this legislation and on what he said in the context of the peace process and so on. I thank him for his contribution and for his suggestions to improve accountability.

I agree with Deputy Brian Hayes that the promotion and marketing of international education is now a priority for the Government and Enterprise Ireland has a key role in that regard. I would be interested in considering the Fine Gael proposals in that regard. I thank Deputies again for their co-operation. It will be possible to raise with the alliance the views expressed by Deputy Brian Hayes on institutes of technology.
