With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103 and 104 together. The information requested by the Deputies is in the form of a tabular statement which I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

TOTAL State subventions to University Colleges.

Is it right to assume that the proposed Limerick university is being treated in the same way as the Laois-Offlay bog roads?

That is a bit deep.

I think that is a matter for the Limerick Deputies.

The questions seemed to bear a resemblance.

I am not in a position to say what additional outlay, if any, was made by the College authorities in respect of these matters during the period in question.
