I thank the Chairman. He might tell me when I have five minutes left. I am indicating that I would like to come back in. I have a number of questions, so I would like to put my name down to return to the discussion. First, cuirim céad míle fáilte roimh na finnéithe go léir. Deirim i gcónaí gur iontach an áis a bheith anseo agus ceisteanna a chur. Tá díomá orm maidir leis na freagraí, go háirithe maidir leis an chruinniú deireanach. I welcome all the witnesses. I will not waste any more time on niceties, but I will certainly be polite. I welcome Professor Fitzgerald and his detailed statement. It is the first time we have had someone before the committee who has given a detailed statement of what he or she has found and what he or she is going to do. Perhaps it is because he is new. If he does what he has said, it will perhaps be a turning point for the third level institutions. I will wait and see, but I certainly welcome the seven pages and what he has identified. With regard to the University of Limerick, UL, although feelings do not really have a place at this committee, on a human level, what was Professor Fitzgerald's feeling when he watched the RTE programme?
