When can we expect that Bill?

Dr. Graham Love: That is the territory of the further education and training sector and SOLAS, to be clear. On the question about UL, the report goes back a few years. There were a number of attempts to access UL that either were not received or were not complied with. I imagine it was then that the HEA understood it did not have power with regard to universities, at least, because it was...

Departmental Agencies (24 May 2012)

Brendan Smith: ...or upskilled to avail of those potential job opportunities. It is grand for the public service, in general. This is not a criticism of any Department but of the public service, no matter who is in power, which does not react rapidly enough.

Further Education and Training Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 Feb 2013)

Ciarán Cannon: ...get involved in them in this House. I would argue that he elucidated one particular conspiracy theory over the past ten minutes.

We are not creating a super-quango. To be fair to the...
