I asked those questions because as a politician I have to have my statement in by the end of this week. No excuse will be accepted. I must hand it in to show what I did with the money I received. I had to do it in a previous life in respect of value added tax, VAT. We got letters very quickly to take us to court if we did not do it, and rightly so. Third level institutions are shouting that they do not have enough money yet their financial accounts are not up to date. They also have a separate stream, and there is a separate complex problem, which I will not have time to come back to, in respect of the commercialisation of research. I will park that for the moment and ask specific questions.

Which part of the Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, GMIT, is in trouble, Mayo or Galway?
