I thank the witnesses for their replies and recognise, as Deputy Smith said, the activity that takes place, especially between the two colleges mentioned, LYIT and Magee University. We had Malachy Ó Néill and the LYIT president in at the start of last year and we had a very good presentation on collaboration from both of them. I met Mr. Clancy two weeks ago. There is further engagement and projects in the pipeline, and that collaboration is great. At some stage, I would hope to get the heads of Letterkenny University Hospital and Altnagelvin Area Hospital before the committee, because a bit more takes place on a cross-Border basis, health-wise, as well. I will not ask any more questions. I thank the witnesses for the collaboration they are doing and if we can be of any help, they should be sure to get in touch, especially from a north-west perspective.
