Mr. John McGrane:

To take the second question the Senator raised, whether we had a position on how it should be funded, the short answer is we do not. Our view is that it is important to have the conversation sooner rather than later. It is challenging, as any such matter is. We know about the importance of funding the third level sector, but it is not just about funding, it is also about structuring and many other issues. This is a very challenging discussion for educators, politicians, business leaders and civic society and the easiest and natural reaction would be to push it down the road somewhat. Our encouragement is not to waste the fact that Brexit stimulates us to ask what we need to do. We should accelerate the discussion and all play our part in making the tough call and asking how we will do it, have it agreed and move on with the opportunity.
