Output. The question is a fair one. The legislation is in draft form at present. The Office of the Attorney General is engaging with our Department on finalising it and I expect it will be ready to publish within the next month. We want to get it into the Oireachtas as soon as possible. Obviously, it is important to those parts of the country that aspire to giving their institution technological university status. It is an important output as far as I am concerned.

With regard to Senator Craughwell's point on guidance, the matter will have to be considered in the current Estimates process. I cannot anticipate the outcome. We will have to see how much money we have.
