I am a tiny bit confused. In the form I have to hand on expenditure by the Department of Education and Skills on higher education, it states we are spending €15,457,000 under subhead C12, research activities. However, under capital expenditure, it is stated we are spending €37.6 million in research. Can someone explain that to me? Which is which and what is what because I have a question in this regard? Is one for buildings in which research takes place and the other for research itself, because it pertains to higher education?
