Did they just get out of the market the foundation was...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I have been chasing this for some time. I believe we will need to look at Education and Training Boards Ireland as well. That is the organisation over all the boards. There are broader issues relating to the way in which funding is being spent, in respect of how SOLAS provided funding to the board and the issue relating to the merger of the education and training boards and multiple...
