I am very disappointed because it would appear it is better to have no representation from education than to have someone from a country which is aspiring to have the same academic qualifications in that discipline. Again, I go back to the Bologna process and ask if the Department of Education and Science was consulted about this legislation because it has a major bearing on it. We are concerned, as the Minister of State is aware, about mobility of labour and these are the sort of issues that are important. Where will we be if we are told that because we do not have someone from an educational institution on a board, that will not be considered as adequate under the Bologna process?
