Deputy Cullinane referred to strengthening processes. One of the things I am not sure is happening on a regular basis is that when we have institutions or other bodies before us giving evidence, for the want of a better word, and we ask them for information that we follow up on it in order to be thorough. For example, I asked UCC for figures on its allocation for access for disadvantaged students and I do not know whether we got any correspondence back from it. It is important we do that for the committee's sake because otherwise people will come in here and pay lip service but will not follow up. I urge that we would ensure we follow up on all issues.
