Could the Acting Leader arrange a debate as soon as possible on the OECD report on third level education? The report calls for parity of esteem in the State's dealings with the two components of third level education, the institutes of technology and the universities, but it stops short of calling for full university status for the institutes. A debate would be useful for us to examine the complementary and distinctive roles of the institutes and the universities as the OECD sees them.
