I proposes to take Questions Nos. 111 and 112 together.

According to the Higher Education Authority's most recent institutional profiles (which relate to the academic year 2013/14), 19% of full-time academic staff hold a doctoral qualification and 26% of all academic staff hold a doctoral qualification at the Institute of Technology Carlow. In relation to Waterford Institute of Technology, 31% of full-time academic staff hold a doctoral qualification and 28% of all academic staff hold a doctoral qualification.
