For the Deputy's information, following is a table showing the numbers that have graduated from the two bachelor of technology courses in the University of Limerick from 1999 to 2002 and estimated numbers for 2003 and 2004 based on enrolments in the final year of study. Details of the numbers that have taken up teaching positions is also included.
A detailed study of supply and demand issues in the second level sector, which has been carried out by the Higher Education Authority in conjunction with my Department, has identified a range of subject areas where supply and demand issues arise. The outcome of this study is currently being considered by my Department with a view to determining the measures which need to be put in place to address these issues.
