We will certainly make it to others who come in as well.

My first theme and set of questions comes back to the foundation. It is perfectly reasonable to have different opinions. It is perfectly reasonable for somebody to say there should be a complete separation in terms of governance between a university and a foundation. It is also reasonable for someone to say it should be closer and to give reasons for it. What I have noticed over the course of the appearances of the institutes before the committee is the existence of a number of a different organisations or bodies that have a relationship with an institute. We have it in Waterford for example with Diverse Campus Services, although obviously it was different. It was not under the governance of the institute. We had a discussion on spin-put companies and we are being told they are private companies but they are co-located in institutes. Where an institute is a shareholder we have a responsibility to ask questions about it.
