Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Engagement with Secretary General of the Department of Health
Mr. Robert Watt:
We ultimately wanted to show intent that we were serious about investing in this research and in this capacity, and about sending a signal to the different teams around the university system that we were serious about funding this research. They have to get teams together, and they might have international people coming in, and dedicated staff. We wanted to send a clear message to the university sector that we were serious about funding this particular research stream in the way it has been done in the past.
