I have an understandable interest in this topic, being a Limerick Deputy. Deputy McLoughlin asked about the issue of apprenticeships and I would also like to hear about any plans that are in place, particularly for the campus in Coonagh, which has potential in terms of apprenticeships and engineering in general. How is that progressing?

I understand there are different stages in the process of becoming a technological university. Will Mr. Brazil give us any information about where that process is at? It is probably difficult to give timescales but what has been done to move that process forward?
