Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-09-21
============================================================

Gerry Horkan (CC), Industrial and Commercial Panel

It is fair to say that there are not too many people in the Chamber who have as close a connection to the HEA as Senator Malcolm Byrne. My mother was a member of the HEA in the 1990s, so I have a bit of knowledge. I have some involvement, with my parents involved in UCD. Many of us know about higher education in different ways, including Senator Ruane, who was president of the students' union in her day.
