I thank the Minister for saying there will be a cross-party approach that will include all Oireachtas Members from the area. Everyone is on the same footing here. Everybody recognises the considerable potential that the Connacht-Ulster Alliance could realise for the region.
The Minister said that he cannot be clear on the timelines with regard to St. Angela's, and I understand that. However, it is positive to hear that the Minister feels that St. Angela's has a role to play and can be a part of the technological university.
Without wanting to raise any concerns, I have one final issue to address. If we have a situation where not all three campuses vote in favour of the new technological university, is it possible that two can go ahead with a submission? Has this happened in the south east? I am not sure about that. I am not asking the Minister what will happen, I am simply asking what is possible.
