On third level institutions, a number of institutes of technology are in deficit and have been in deficit for some time. They are not allowed to be in deficit but they are. I have received replies to several parliamentary questions illustrating the extent of the problem. It is quite problematic for some of them and I know that contingency plans are being put in place to mitigate it, but these do not seem to be having the desired effect. Can we find out which are in deficit and bring them before us?
