Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

I want to refer to what Senator Henry said regarding only two people representing both undergraduate and postgraduate training. I could not hear what the Senator said because of the noise at the door. However, I share her view. The five medical schools were represented by the deans of medicine on the last council. In my experience they concerned themselves solely with education and training issues and that was their sole remit on the council. Will the Minister confirm whether the education and training committee of the Medical Council can co-opt expertise, and will the other schools of medicine be represented? We will now have six schools of medicine and if two representatives are on the council will the other four be co-opted to the education and training committee? I would support this.
