Seán Sherlock (Cork East, Labour) | Oireachtas source

With regard to amendment No. 5, it is the Government's intention to inform the Houses of the Oireachtas of the strategic areas of opportunities for Ireland. This will largely be centred on priority areas as set out in the recommendations arising from the national research prioritisation exercise and through the prioritisation action group, whose work continues. I am currently chairing that process. I am satisfied that we could consider this for further discussion on Report Stage, taking into account the submission made by the Deputy.
