I move amendment No. 6:

In page 5, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:“(b) to any cross-border institution established within the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, or”.

I welcome the all-Ireland approach to this Bill. There is a practical concern that Science Foundation Ireland, SFI, funding goes beyond universities and institutes of technology. It has also given money to Teagasc, for example. This amendment provides that every cross-Border body that has a relevance in this area could be eligible for SFI funding. It is a purely practical amendment.
