I propose to take Questions Nos. 60 and 187 together.
The recently published internationalisation of Irish education services report by the internationalisation working group recommended the establishment of a new statutory body called "Education Ireland" to attract overseas students to Ireland.
This new body's functions will include co-ordinating policy development, providing strategic plans, awarding the new "Education Ireland" quality mark, developing a code of conduct for pastoral care and assuming responsibility for the certification of English language schools.
My Department is currently engaging in a consultation process with the main stakeholders in the sector with a view to informing the implementation process and the preparation of the necessary legislation to establish Education Ireland. My Department will also consider the scope for implementing recommendations in the report on an administrative basis in advance of legislation.
