Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I agree with the observations made by the Deputy and I can assure him that there is joined up thinking. It will be driven by the institutions. They will be given encouragement to make sensible, collaborative associations. We do not want political interference. These decisions should be made in the best interests of the totality of the institutions and the education sector in which students at home and abroad will be attracted to participate in.
