I am sure that I speak for all committee members when I say that we will anticipate this process and assume that Mr. Ó Foghlú will make it very clear to the institutions concerned. Issues have arisen at Maynooth University, Athlone Institute of Technology, Limerick Institute of Technology, Waterford Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown, Tallaght, St. Patrick's in Drumcondra, Mary Immaculate College and National College of Art and Design, NCAD. This problem is widespread in the sector. I am sure that Mr. Ó Foghlú is not attempting to try to explain it away, as there clearly can be no explaining away. The guidelines are fairly clear cut and the expectations on the system need to be understood by each of the institutions. I believe that we agree on this.
