I apologise. I will conclude by reminding Members that in the future teacher training courses will be of four rather than three years duration, with the focus on pedagogical skills and a broad range of other facets of training. The third level education landscape we have inherited is an uneven one, with the Senators' institution, for example, being more than 400 years old, while others, namely, the University of Limerick and DCU, are less than 20 years old. There is inevitably a degree of duplication and a loss of efficiency in that situation, which is what we are seeking to address.
