I welcome the witnesses. The last time I met Mr. Deenihan was at the event in MTU. It was an eye-opener for many of us on the committee, including me, and I am from Cork. A great deal of investment is required and it is great to see the plans that MTU has for the future.

Before I came to this meeting, I was watching it on television upstairs. My initial question is for Mr. Deenihan. He stated that if MTU was given the money, it could eradicate its student accommodation crisis in Cork. Will he elaborate on that comment? What could MTU deliver and how would it go about tackling the student accommodation crisis in Bishopstown?
