Proinsias De Rossa

Question:

28 Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has yet received the Education Research Centre report on the completion rates in undergraduate degree courses in the seven universities; the main conclusions thereof; the steps he will take to address this problem on foot of this report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2749/01]

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

The research to which the Deputy refers is being undertaken by the Education Research Centre at St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra, on behalf of the Higher Education Authority. While I have not received the report, I understand that the authority is making arrangements for the printing of the report with a view to publication later this month.
