Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: Everybody is in situ. This part of the meeting involves a discussion on the possible impact of Brexit on the Irish educational system. We will have the opportunity to listen to the views of stakeholders in this very important area. I took the opportunity over the weekend to look at statistics regarding Irish students abroad. In 2016, 12,000 Irish students studied in the UK while 2,000...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: I come from a family who grew mushrooms in Kildare and when I was at college I was too well aware of the fluctuation in sterling and how much it meant for the money I got when I went back to college on a Sunday evening.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: I thank the witness. The whole area of visas and residents' permits are certainly critical in how we can attract more students, especially non-EU students. I ask Mr. John McGrane to make his submission.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: I thank Mr. McGrane. There is no doubt that Seán Lemass and T.K. Whitaker were great men with huge vision and commitment. They completely recognised the need for a very advanced education system to give everybody in Ireland the opportunity to achieve their potential through second and third level education. When Mr. McGrane made reference to these two men I was cognisant of the fact...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: Before I go to the witnesses, I shall make a point. It is clear that maintaining the common travel area is a priority on every level. The common travel area is equally important for the education sector as it is for trade and business. I agree with Senator Maria Byrne that it is essential that the European qualifications framework continues to be recognised, particularly as it affects...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: That is fine. For brevity, not everybody needs to speak on all of the issues raised. Comments are welcome if witnesses feel they can make a further contribution. We could literally debate this matter for another five hours, which would be interesting and exciting because we have had a hugely enthusiastic and positive session so far. I call on Professor MacCraith to commence.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: On that point, there certainly is a lot of commonality in terms of what we are looking for and this committee is very cognisant of the need to hear the European voice. We did try to get someone from the EU to take part in this process. That said, this is only the start of the engagement that the witnesses will have with this committee and I would hope that they will see this committee as a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: That is a fair point, having had a meeting with IDA Ireland last week on attracting it to Kildare and out of Dublin. Going through the issues, and education being one of them, I have family members who live abroad and I see how they make their choices in terms of their children. Having seen the Sundai school experience just outside Newbridge, which worked incredibly well for a number of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: I thank Professor MacCraith for that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Fiona O'Loughlin: We are all very positive. We all recognise the challenges we face but also the opportunities. The message is that Ireland, and our education system, is open for business but we need huge investment in it. To address the point Mr. McGrane made about the Cassells report, we are not dragging our heels on it. We are awaiting two pieces of research, one of which is on the technical impact,...
