Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Paul McAuliffe: I apologise to Dr. O’Reardon. I was at another committee, so I am in great danger of asking him questions someone has already asked. It will just give him the opportunity to answer them better the second time. I wish Dr. O’Reardon well in the Department. The establishment of a Department of higher education was a key demand in our negotiations on the programme for...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Paul McAuliffe: My concern is that there is an emerging deficit, one that might in some way be linked to student numbers. If so, it would be worrying. One would have thought that the amalgamation of several bodies would lead to some degree of cost savings and to them using one another’s resources. However, it now appears that we have an increased number of staff and reduced student numbers.

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Paul McAuliffe: I understand. As Dr. O'Reardon says, it is an ongoing piece of work and something to which we, as a committee, will return more directly with the HEA. For a Department that is promoting higher education, a reduction in numbers of students would be disappointing, particularly in an institution that was more than well placed to take advantage of the technical universities legislation at a...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Paul McAuliffe: There is a key role in trying to promote apprenticeships. As a spokesperson on housing, I can say we absolutely need more availability in that pool. Given there is such a vocational base in that college, it might be that it experiences a reduction if there is a greater flow of people into the apprenticeship pool. That is something for us to keep an eye on. I know TUD has a...

I would like to explore some of the details as to how the Department ensured that the Covid money was distributed. If...
