Mr. Robert Watt:

It is committed to the Health Research Board, which would organise the competition. Again, I would disagree with some of the characterisation of this. The intention was not for this money to be allocated to one college. It was very clear that this was inter-institutional collaboration that we managed through the Health Research Board on a competitive basis. That was clearly the intent that is set out in the letter. I think Dr. Holohan confirmed that at previous Dáil committees, I confirmed it and I think the Minister has also confirmed that as well in statements he has made.
