It raises the issue of Waterford Institute of Technology, WIT, which is close to university accreditation and a fine institution. I would see it as a further example that needs to be looked at. I understand much of the impetus comes from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, RCSI, in terms of how it is marketed abroad. I believe its marketing has been remarkably successful in that it is always full and has plenty of students. What is it worried about? In any advertisement it can certainly demonstrate its standing in a way that makes it clear where it stands.
