Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

The Deputy's question has been most useful in providing valuable insight through the information she has picked up. I will follow up on all three issues the Deputy has highlighted. On the specific matters raised in respect of insurance companies and the non-academic PA, I do not doubt what the Deputy said, because she has heard it from authoritative sources. However, it is very frustrating to hear that even though we have a needs-based, student-centred approach, a student cannot leave campus to go for a coffee with other students because of some insurance rules. I ask the Deputy to engage with me directly on the matter and I will take the three issues forward.
