I welcome Mr. Brazil and Professor Vincent Cunnane, president of LIT, who is in the Visitors Gallery. As a former board member of LIT, I am delighted to see both of them here today and to be able to speak about what is going on in LIT at the moment. What are the plans of LIT to develop and extend access to higher education?

When I was on the board of LIT, there were discussions about whether we would go with the status as a technological university. The decision made by the current board is to go along with AIT. What will be the greatest challenges facing the development of a technological university?
