Senator Byrne raised the 60:40 divide between funding for TUs and traditional universities. The Minister said it would all go into one pot. Are we to take from this that it will be based on the number of students? Many colleges are oversubscribed at present. Many TUs have been very generous with their intake over the years. They have far higher numbers than perhaps even they would have liked. I assume there will be no catch and that it will not be capped at a certain limit. Does the Minister envisage this type of restriction?
