Mr. Aidan O'Shea:

That is the $64,000 question. As matters stand, some legislative issues must be signed off by the solicitors working for the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. We still do not know the application fees or what the protection for enrolled learners fee will be, and there are still some regulations to be dealt with. We hope that applications will open in September. As Mr. O'Connor stated, expressions of interest have been made by members. We hope that the application portal will open in September. This would mean that the first batch of schools would hopefully be through by the middle of next year. That is the current timeline but we await some statutory legislation to be signed off and for lawyers to finalise fees.
