We had a number of cross-party sessions in private where we tried to put forward different proposals and amendments. We had a bit of fun over who could draft the best amendment and the officials came up trumps in that regard. In the series of amendments that must be made to get the Bill right, they covered everything, which is great. I also thank the students, although I think we must be careful about what political forces we have unleashed for the future. The students came looking for something and succeeded comfortably. Although it is a little late, unfortunately, they will have it for the next term. I also thank the Minister of State with responsibility for third level education, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor, for the role she played in respect of the Bill.
On-campus accommodation will be covered. I do not recall the other question asked by Deputy Darragh O'Brien but I wrote down: "I do not think so." What was the question?
