Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

One distinction that is made by the institutions is, for example, that student fees are regarded as non-taxpayer revenues. There are also donations and bequests. Some donations and bequests might be fundraising for a specific purpose. If there are conditions around funding such as this, then it should be kept separate and not put into the general pool of funding.
