PQ 525
525. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills her views on the acquisition by a college of Tipperary Education and Training Board of a web-based student enrolment system, which does not work correctly in all web browsers, and which cannot order learners' names alphabetically, necessitating the reordering of subsequent internal procedures; her further views if such an acquisition represents good value for money, when an alternative system, developed in-house at no extra cost, was previously in use and was fully compatible and able to present lists in any required order, including normal alphabetical order; the costs associated with this acquisition; and the terms of the purchase and any associated service level agreement.
