The point is taken. I will put it this way - the comments were asides. We have had a detailed discussion on the issues before the committee. I apologise for the slightly late start and running into the afternoon. I have said previously that as soon as the accounts are approved by the Department of Education and Skills, we will arrange a return visit. As matters stand, the only accounts in front of the committee are two and half years old. There is no way we can conduct our business without reverting back to that fact.

I thank the witnesses from the University of Limerick and IT Sligo for their attendance and the material provided. I thank Mr. Ó Foghlú who may not be with us at the next meeting. The secretariat will be in touch with the witnesses to receive any information the committee has sought to make sure it is sent on to us in reasonable time.
