I acknowledge the work of Deputies Thomas Byrne, Catherine Martin and Kathleen Funchion in getting the Technological Universities Act across the line and thank them for their support. I know that there were issues about which they were not happy, but a democratic process took place and I won some battles, as they did. I really appreciate their support. I only became aware today of the issue raised by Deputy Thomas Byrne.
