The Deputy has asked about the HSE and I will certainly talk to the Minister for Health about that issue.

With regard to the Wexford campus I am disappointed also, but I know the importance of making sure that we have higher education institutions in the regions. This is why I am pushing the Technological Universities Bill. We are supporting IT Carlow to assess the situation in Wexford. I am aware that there are 766 students currently enrolled at the Wexford campus. We value education. Deputy Wallace does not need to convince me about the importance of education - I know exactly how important it is. We want all students right across the State, in every region and every county, to get the very best from education.
