I propose to take Questions Nos. 564 and 565 together.
The Waterford Institute of Technology is a statutory body established under the Regional Technical Colleges Act 1992. Under that Act, the governance and day to day activities of the institute are matters for which the governing body and the management staff of the Institute are responsible. This includes decisions in relation to the operation and management of the WIT school of music.
