1859. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will engage with an institute on behalf of a person (details supplied); and if he will clarify whether he and or his Department have authority in respect of persons that provide tuition in a private capacity in delivering courses and or tuition in this State on behalf of an institute that is registered in another jurisdiction.

The Institute in question is a private body operating from another jurisdiction offering programmes in a private capacity in Ireland. It does not fall under the remit of this Department and I have no role in the matter outlined. Education providers should have relevant policies and procedures in place to enable a learner pursue a complaint surrounding the programme upon which they are enrolled. In such cases where complaints arise, learners should seek to pursue and exhaust such processes to see if a resolution can be found.
