On collecting the data, we have a certain number of third level institutions. Whoever is working in the payroll section or is in charge of HR will know quickly enough how many full-timers they have, how many part-timers, and how many are on short-term contracts for maybe a year or two. Would Dr. O'Reardon agree that people are not going to be kept in the sector if they have 11 hours a week and are trying to do what everybody else has to, including trying to get accommodation, put a roof over their heads and keep bread on the table? They cannot be kept. They are highly qualified people.
