We will take the first step, and I hear that the Cathaoirleach is saying that it will not be able to take the huge number. I bow to the fact the Cathaoirleach has personal engagement here but we have the situation where Coláiste an Phiarsaigh has 33 places available that have not been taken up. We are obliged to say that. We will look at the technical assessment and we have an open mind in keeping this under review where there is potential and possibility to do so. Maybe it is an aonad but we are actively looking at Dublin 2, 4, 6 and 8 and the Cathaoirleach said we should go further to Dublin 10 and 12. We are looking in this space and we will keep it under review.
