Mr. Robert Watt:

The board allocates money, as it has just decided on for 2023, to themes. It has allocated €2 million on the same basis we set out in the letter of intent, that is, for pandemic research purposes. It has actually done that exactly as we envisaged and as the letter intended. It is now administering competitions and I understand many institutions across Ireland are competing for that funding we have set out. The Minister and the Government have always set out themes and ideas around research and that money is then administered.
