I heard Mr. Hourihan speak earlier to Deputy Nolan. I think he mentioned €20 million to €25 million for the refurbishment of the building in Munster Technological University, MTU. We did the tour there. I think I have done the tour three times in the past six months. It is clear the building needs more than just a lick of paint. I was an Irish teacher but I often found myself being timetabled in the woodwork class or the home economics kitchen. When we got the new building, we got language labs which were far more conducive to learning. Will Mr. Hourihan give us 30 seconds of a pitch about what he would like to do in MTU, if it were to get that type of funding?
