There is concern in some colleges that funding has not been made available for next year and subsequent years. I seek the witnesses' comments in this regard. Finally, with regard to the designation of institutes of technology as technological universities, this is a good, progressive and exciting phase of work. I work closely with the Institute of Technology Sligo and in many such institutes of technology, there is no fear of change. They would welcome such change, as long as they can consistently perceive it will make matters better for the students they serve.
