Can the Minister of State provide a guarantee there will be no job losses beyond the number he gave of two posts, to be an exception for one year, and that the college will be unaffected by the changes in the pupil teacher ratio? Given the nature of the specialised courses it offers there, is a danger of a loss, not only of specialist lecturers but also of specialist courses for which the college is renowned, not only in the Ballyfermot area but throughout Ireland and the world. I appeal to the Minister of State to consider this college not alone as an exception but as a role model for future transition between the colleges of further and higher education.
