I thank Dr. Corbet. We have had four excellent presentations. We are all agreed that we are in crisis in respect of third-level fees, both currently and given the demographics coming down the line. Ultimately, we have to do what is fair to students, their families, universities, and the taxpayer, particularly as the taxpayer has a significant stake in this.
