Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I want to put on record Sinn Féin's support for these amendments. They are important. It is particularly important to ensure students' unions are independent and self-governing. As my colleague has said, we do not have to look too far, even within the European Union, to see what can happen. I cannot see any reason the Minister would object to a definition like this.
