The qualifications in question were not referred to my Department. My Department prescribes qualifications for appointment to such posts but does not sanction individual appointments. The making of an appointment to the post in question is a matter for the vocational education committee as the employer. The vocational education committee has confirmed to my Department that the successful candidate qualifies in accordance with the criteria set down for the position.
