Ms Julie Sinnamon:

The Deputy asked about the business hub at Maynooth University. Enterprise Ireland provided funding for that hub. Indeed, we have a significant role in terms of working with the universities, particularly in the context of the commercialisation of the research that is going on and which is funded by many parties, including Science Foundation Ireland and other research bodies. Our key focus is the commercialisation of research. We have incubation facilities in every institute of technology and university in the country and, as I said, we provided specific funding for Maynooth. We have 15 technology centres which are sectorally driven by companies in order to make sure the research is actually addressing the needs of industry, whether it is cloud computing, data analytics, Food for Health Ireland in the dairy processing sector, etc. All of that is driven by companies deciding the research agenda and joint funding being provided by us. It is a very active area.

Does my colleague, Mr. Sherry, wish to comment briefly on Brexit?
