If the Deputy has to leave, we will assist him by taking it out of sequence. It is correspondence from Mr. Neil McDermott, system funding, Higher Education Authority, providing an update on our request regarding the review of the spin-out and sale of companies from the Telecommunications Software and Systems Group, TSSG, at Waterford Institute of Technology. It appears there are ongoing legal issues. There is another item of correspondence, No. 1557C, which was received from the Waterford branch of the Teachers Union of Ireland. It raises concerns about the delay in the completion and publication of the McLoone report on Waterford Institute of Technology and spin-out companies. We will note the correspondence. Does the Deputy want to comment on these two issues?
