Does it not strike Dr. Love as ironic - the word is inappropriate - that here is a third level institution in trouble with a note on whether it is a going concern but yet there are lots of companies making profits by using intellectual property and knowledge that has been gained as a result of people being public servants in the third level college? Does Dr. Love think that is a bit ironic? Does he not feel there is something to look at in this regard, in that the college is struggling for finance while all this money is there?
