I want to return to the issue of purpose-built accommodation. Mr. Dunican can remain in the hot seat despite his recent appointment. A key issue is around a borrowing framework for technological universities. All of the universities Mr. Dunican outlined are universities rather than technological universities. I am obviously speaking from a particular bias where South East Technological University, SETU, or WIT as it was, has the experience in place and has done this before but is struggling to make it happen. Where are we in terms of allowing technological universities to get involved in this?
