Dr. Colm O'Reardon:
It is a problem. I might ask Mr. Lemass to list the particular projects. There was a call-out to the sector. We probably have to differentiate between the traditional universities and the technological universities. The traditional universities have some track record in this area and the capacity to build the accommodation. When the call-out was made, a number of the universities had projects that were capable of being brought forward with a certain amount of funding support. Those are the ones the Cathaoirleach mentioned, and they include Maynooth and DCU. He also mentioned Galway but I am not sure if Galway falls into the same bracket. A number of projects were capable of being accelerated.
