Will the Minister outline exactly what the 3% reduction in the research and training fund involves? I would have thought that extra funding would be required for research and training in light of Brexit and at a time when we are seeking to access more and more markets and when increasing numbers of students want to enter third-level education? Does the reduction relate to a different fund or is it to this fund?
