Mr. Watt will not appear before us again. This committee, like the Dáil, is running to the end of its term, but this issue concerning institutes of technology, universities and so on will not go away. It needs to be reviewed and I am anxious to bring it to the attention of the Department today.
The other matter concerned having one financial system for the HSE. I acknowledge it is progressing, but we have been told it will be some years before it is actually rolled out. Is there any way to speed up the process? Quite frankly, dealing with the HSE on its budget is a nightmare, as I am sure it must be for the management staff who appear before this committee.
