Good stuff. To pick up on a point on the HEA, my wife told me this morning that I am bad with figures, so perhaps I misinterpreted this, so correct me if I am wrong. Over the past five years, 33%, or 74 people, of those on the register for more than five years qualified at UCD. We had 82 CAO places at UCD each year over the five years, so that is in excess of 400. Where are those vets? They are obviously going abroad. Is there a problem? Has research been done to see why we are not able to keep those vets here?
