Dr. Michele O'Dwyer:

I will offer an addendum to Professor Boland's earlier comments. One thing that concerns me about the start of the discussion just now is that we are looking for opportunities. We are looking at Brexit as an opportunity. We are looking internationally for students to come here and pay substantial fees. It is obviously very attractive for us to focus on that but the danger is we are bursting at the seams right now with the students we have. We are not servicing them in the way we should. We are not providing them with the level of education we have in previous years. We are just about managing to service their needs now. We are not equipping them in the same way we used to previously for their future education. We are not sending graduates out who not only are dropping into the workplace but are able to run faster than everybody else. We are not equipping them and we are not equipping industry. I am concerned that we move on too fast to looking at the opportunities without looking at what we have right now, which is an immediate crisis. We have not even taken into account the demographics and the impact on that. We could easily take students from Britain. We could take more international students if we had a better quality product but we do not have an adequate quality product at the moment. We need to go back a few steps before we start to gallop.
