I refer to both. I am asking where is it a delight to spend the money because the Minister constantly sees work being well done in the area or sees a result. I am aware there is a result because I understand education is a result of itself but I mean specifically, through all these areas, where does the Minister see the greatest return? Does she see it in the DEIS schools, in languages or in higher education research? Where does she see such value constantly? Again, what is being spent on the Grangegorman project? In addition, as I am somewhat confused about all the money we are spending on research, I ask the Minister to outline that business. Do we have the same parallel target programmes or has there been an initiation of that within higher education by the Department for that sector's outcomes and outputs in respect of all the money that is being spent?
