I thank the witnesses and apologies we had to step outside. I picked up on Mr. Fleming's points. He said his whole argument is merit-based. Four universities have a pitch in and I am sure they are very detailed,based on the previous ones. I am a little concerned that everything has been staked on Limerick and I hoped he might have gone into more detail and set us apart why Limerick as opposed to the other universities. He referenced it to some degree but I do not think he give us substantive evidence why it should be the University of Limerick as opposed to the other universities.
