It was my pleasure.

I have two questions. Dr. Taheny stated she would welcome any advice and assistance that the committee may offer in dealing with the financial pressures and challenges caused by enhanced co-operation. No doubt the committee will use its every influence with the Minister but if there are specific projects within the memorandum of understanding that they can document and put forward, that might be a good way to leverage funding and support for it. For example, I am aware that St. Angela's offers Irish as an elective subject. Are there possibilities of student exchanges between the Irish departments in both colleges, North and South? That might be one such venture. There may be others in which they would be interested. As I stated, it has been a great privilege to be here today and I am very proud.
