On the last occasion, I asked about what choice would be available to the sector if more public funding was not available. Mr. Hannigan might comment on cross-border possibilities in the development of the CUA. I see Brexit as an opportunity for higher education and research even though there are challenges as well. Mr. Hannigan might talk about that.

In his opening remarks, Dr. Ryan made reference to the borrowing framework. When we talk about capital development, can we also talk about the development of on-campus student accommodation? Obviously, this has been quite a big challenge. Professor Cunnane referred to these university towns and what will make a heart of that will be the development of much-needed on-campus accommodation.
