Dr. Graham Love:

In answer to the Deputy's first question, we undertake to provide those data to the committee. To answer his second question, our functions are threefold: first, to fund the system and allocate State funding to the institutions in a transparent and clear manner; second, to provide oversight, and I will return to that topic in a moment; and third, to act in an advisory capacity to the Minister, assist with policy development and so on. Our second function, oversight, has been beefed up significantly since the Hunt report in 2013 in terms of helping to develop the system, technological universities, clusters and so on. I do not want to give the committee the impression that we think the only reliance should be on self-investigation. It is a good thing that we get the level of governance and capacity to assess things at a considerable level in an individual institute------
