Dr. Stephen Farry:

My question is for Professor Lawler. Regarding the point around leveraging on an east-west basis to complement what happens on a North-South basis, in their experience of applying to the various funds, does there tend to be exclusionary clauses that prevent some of the UK-wide funds being applied to support North-South collaboration even if the money is being spent through a Northern Ireland institution? Are we able to join up or are there restrictions there of which we need to be mindful at a political level?
