The FETAC Council

The FETAC Council membership reflects the wide variety of groups in the Further Education and Training sector.

All members are appointed to the Council by the Minister for Education and Skills.

On 21 December 2011, the Minister reappointed eligible outgoing members of the Council of FETAC until such time as the new authority is established and FETAC is dissolved, arising from the enactment of the Qualifications and Quality Assurance Act, which is anticipated in 2012.

The members of the Council are:
