Ciarán Cannon (Galway East, Fine Gael)

I am aware of the issues to which the Senator refers. He is quite correct in ensuring we have the very highest standards in place in our English language providers' schools and also that these schools secure and win the trust of international students. That is critical. This amendment proposes to reduce the period of review from three years to two years. The three-year period that we are proposing is substantially less than the review period of seven years that applied previously. This is a significant step forward. There will be an opportunity for the authority to move on an institution immediately where it has specific concerns about the provision within that institution. In addition to the review process every three years, the authority will have that additional power under the legislation.
