The Minister of State addressed some of the concerns regarding student representation. I appeal to Senators to take a calm, reflective approach to the issue. Perhaps the Minister will engage with Senators on it before Report Stage. The Minister of State provided some clarity when she stated she envisaged governing bodies having student representatives on them. This has been a good and healthy debate. I support the principle of having community and student representation. It will be interesting to read over the transcript of this debate because I took comfort from the Minister of State's contribution. Perhaps we should reflect on it before Report Stage.
