Dr. Barry O'Connor:

The Deputy mentioned counselling. It is a really serious matter. There is a constantly increasing demand for counselling. We had a number of in-house counsellors, but the demand from students, because of the way society is, means that we have six or eight counsellors coming in. We are looking at reviewing the matter.
