One of the aspects that Ms Campbell touched on in terms of the financial position in March of this year was that savings were not easily achieved, and consequently the institute has very limited capacity to invest in infrastructure and facilities. That is obviously a concern. It has been a concern identified in the wider reports as well for campuses. I am au faitwith the campus in Dundalk. I would appreciate it if Ms Campbell could elaborate, first, on the constraints that she sees and, second, on the ambitious plan by the college, in conjunction with Louth county board of An Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, to build a 12,000-seat stadium.

As we know, that plan fell through. Did Dundalk Institute of Technology make a financial investment made in planning for the stadium, architectural designs and so forth? The overall cost was to be approximately €6 million, of which DkIT was to provide an outlay of €3 million?
