Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill, 2011: Second Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh (Sinn Fein)
I recall the uproar in the summer when some well-known language schools in Dublin closed after fees from students had been accepted. Providers should have to show they are financially viable before being approved with the mark and support of the QQAI and this should be applicable to all higher education providers. Tacaíonn Sinn Féin leis an reachtaíocht seo i bprionsabal. Tréaslaíonn muid leis an Aire as í a thabhairt chun cinn, ach coinníonn muid an cheart leasuithe a thabairt isteach ar na Céimeanna eile den reachtaíocht.
