Very good. I certainly know that Waterford Institute of Technology, for which I spoke ten or 15 years ago looking for it to be made a university, has expanded vigorously into law and the humanities. That is what makes a university. I simply do not believe one can have a university which is just technical. It is not a university if it is just technical. The word "university" suggests a kind of breadth and so on. For that reason, I intend to submit an amendment on this issue. I think I heard the Minister of State referring to Wexford.
