Dr. Joseph Ryan:

Yes. That is a very good point. We have the national training fund. The issue with that is and always has been how it is best utilised. The technological sector is very much linked into the region, business, etc., and there is a willingness on the part of business to support this, but doing so in a structured way is one of the issues.

Going back to a previous point Deputy O'Callaghan mentioned, and Mr. Miley mentioned capital investment, to give the Deputy an insight into that, we have wonderful research centres throughout the country, from the established university sector to our sector. We had a window into that through Covid. We saw it through some of the commentary. I have talked to colleagues in those sectors and they do not compare with their European peers because they just do not have the infrastructure to advance. Researchers can be hired now; the difficulty is where to put them, where the machinery they need is and where the space they need to work is. People ask where the deficits are. That is where we see the deficits.
