I am very concerned that Mr. Ó Foghlú has no difficulty with the commercialisation of research. Is there a policy on this? Does it apply to some types of research rather than others? I am very concerned that he has no difficulty with practising heads of research holding positions in companies that may be located on the property. We are at the end of a session but it is a major topic to be discussed, given that third level institutions are saying they may be bankrupt or need further Government funding.

Has any other third level institution been brought to the Department's attention for any issue?
