Mr. Tim Conlon:

That is a good question and a difficult one to answer. We would need a signal as to what the appetite or requirement is. We cannot speed a process such as the Veterinary Council of Ireland would have to go in terms of the appropriate validation of a programme, because that is not guaranteed. We have to be very careful that the offer to students is appropriate and proper and that the validation is there. There is a piece of work Ms Muldoon and her colleagues have to do that is going to be part of the process and that will take time.
