That links in with the concern Mr. Jones mentioned that even though 41% of PhD STEM graduates are women, it is much lower at a professorial level.

I will conclude with a question for Mr. Duffy. I mentioned before that sometimes we can overcorrect things in Ireland. Presumably, we have to be careful we do not completely undermine the significance and importance of the humanities in our attempts to try to increase the study of STEM. Would Mr. Duffy agree with that?
