I thank the Deputy. She is correct that I was very concerned to hear about this situation. It relates to a situation where a QQI-accredited programme is still a valid programme but CORU, the independent regulator, has expressed concerns about its ability to put the students on the register. My understanding is that individual meetings were to take place between the college and students to look at the options. There were also refunds on the table. The Deputy is correct that people being able to progress their careers is the most important issue. I understood those individual meetings were under way and I will come back to the Deputy specifically on this. I will inquire today as to where this matter is at.
