I thank the Minister. The level of student flow is such that 4.5% of students in the North are from the South. There is also a distortion within that figure because many of those students are from the Border counties, from Donegal in particular. Our national figures do not show the progression of Donegal leaving certificate students going to university because they do not include the Northern universities. However, that is a job for another day.
