I understand that the organisation in question has been in contact with my colleague the Minister for Innovation Policy seeking a meeting regarding funding for the development of a degree year for the Higher Certificate in Workplace and Community Studies. I should state that I and the Ministers for State at my Department are always open to meeting people and organisations where we can provide useful responses and constructive input to the subject matter.

In this case, I understand that a reply has issued to the organisation involved that it would be more useful if the proposal for the development of a degree programme were raised directly with my colleague the Minister for Education and Science.
