We are looking at the future of the higher education system. I am wondering, in that context, whether we might have guidelines for employers offering internships in order that everybody will believe he or she is benefiting from them. A good internship is a fantastic experience for those involved.

The Chairman might consider my next question to be a little off the point, but it is very relevant in Galway. NUI Galway has received a great deal of public funding during the years and developed a very fine campus, much of it built along the River Corrib by virtue of its location. Now, however, there is a bypass proposal for Galway which would see four routes passing through the campus.

Has Mr. Cassells a view on public money being undone in that way?
