Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

No, I am not saying we are so precluded, but we have put a process in place. It has been in place for only a short time and we need to give it time. If we were to be involved, it would not be as effective. What we have in place is potentially effective. I reiterate what Mr. Boland said about costs. We can certainly obtain the details of the CIT-Tralee Institute of Technology merger. The institutes in Waterford and Carlow have not drawn up their detailed costs, but we can obtain the details of expenditure to date. They will be included in the next stage, should they submit a plan for the next stage of the process which I understand would be a stage 3 submission. If they submit a plan, they will cost it and the cost will be available to the committee.
