I understand. As Dr. O'Reardon says, it is an ongoing piece of work and something to which we, as a committee, will return more directly with the HEA. For a Department that is promoting higher education, a reduction in numbers of students would be disappointing, particularly in an institution that was more than well placed to take advantage of the technical universities legislation at a campus that has transformed a big chunk of the city that was underdeveloped. What about the need to work with Technological University Dublin, TUD, to try to improve the offering or enhance the attendance to get the benefits of the capital money we are putting in?
