Mr. Andrew Brownlee:

There are a whole range of reasons. I do not want to speak for the Northern Ireland Executive, but funding has been a challenge and obviously there has been a political vacuum over the past couple of years. There are funding models based on a rigid full-time provision model. I think that is being looked at as we speak. The history of further education and training in Ireland has been that it has grown up from VECs, grown up from FÁS and grown up at a community level. so there are further education facilities in pretty much every village throughout the country. Northern Ireland has moved to a regional college model where there are multiple campuses, but they are concentrated in the major urban centres, so our growth has been more rural and organic.
