General Scheme of the Research and Innovation Bill 2023: Discussion
Dr. John Walsh:
I will be brief as I have been in already. One thing that should be done is reserving the majority of the budget - we were suggesting 70% - for frontier or basic research. That would ensure the economically driven and niche areas SFI is specialised in do not crowd out frontier research. That includes medical research and humanities research. It would certainly be one way of doing it.
