I thank the Minister for being here. As regards the capital investment into further and higher education facilities, local to me, in County Louth, we have Ó Fiaich College in Drogheda and DKIT, but because of the success of the further education sector, because what it is doing is really good, there are a great many more people wanting to go into the advanced entry courses, the fees for which are very low. It is really easy to go to these courses and, like other members have been saying, they are local. I refer to Ó Fiaich College in particular because it is stuck for space. How does an institution like that go about expanding and getting access to that capital funding? Obviously, it goes through its ETB and so on, but Ó Fiaich College is a victim of its own success at the moment.
