Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
2:00 pm
Ciarán Cannon (Galway East, Fine Gael)
It is not proposed to establish the appeals panel in conjunction with academic councils or any other institutional body, as the appeals panel must be independent in its operation. Making a link would compromise its independence. However, this is not to say it will not have the requisite expertise to adjudicate effectively on an appeal.
