I thank the Minister of State for bringing forward amendments in this area. I was originally concerned about community colleges that do not charge fees having to pay into a fund. I am satisfied that if fees are not charged to students in certain forms of community education, they will not come under the same remit.

I also welcome amendment No. 23 regarding the exemption for the IPA. Again, Marino Institute is one about which I was originally concerned. Amendment No. 30 is an amendment for which I had looked with regard to a review after five years. I acknowledge that everything for which we had looked has been dealt with and I thank the Minister of State for that.
