I confirm I am in the precincts of Leinster House. I thank the witnesses for attending today. To follow on from Deputy Verona Murphy's point on Waterford, it is very clear there are now three institutions with long-term deficits. How does the HEA intend to address that, particularly in relation to the intention to establish a long-term funding model for higher education?
Are there institutions under the HEA's remit that consistently have deficits of this order? Is it because of numbers? What solutions have been put in place?
