The presentations were most interesting and I enjoyed them. I know something about the chq building and Neville Isdell. Is there a possibility or a need to do more of what is happening in the chq building? Is there sufficient opportunity to do so? Dogpatch is just one example. Ms O'Rourke mentioned the arrangement she has made across the Border. Nobody else seems to be working across the Border in an all-Ireland capacity. How did it begin and come about? Mr. Gaffney's comment that one cannot get the staff in Ireland jolted me. This should not have happened, particularly given that Ms Conway said Ballyfermot College of Further Education could produce more graduates if we were able to invest more in it. There are opportunities and I am not sure how we go about capitalising on them.
