It is worth quoting a letter from Dr. Goldsmith. I do not blame him because I know his intention is to create a great university institution, but must the primary element be shed like a jettisoned rocket and allowed to career back to earth? It would be a real pity. The letter, dated 5 March 2003, is addressed to Ms M. Keane, Ms M. Sheridan and Mr. M. Stanley of the parents groups and states "I have indicated I am not yet in a position to confirm how many students we will be able to accept next year for part-time music tuition." It says nothing about response to talent or need, but merely mentions numbers. The letter continues "The institute has always maintained that it is not possible for Dublin Institute of Technology to provide music education at primary and secondary level on a scale appropriate to needs in Dublin and surrounding areas."
