Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Public Service Performance Report 2022: Discussion
Mr. Paddy Howard:
Yes. The way I will put it is that what we have sort of said is that we look for continuity in funding in existing programmes at the moment. Obviously, when the new body comes into existence, the new body will then be stirring the lid. In previous conversations around this, we have noted that word of "balance", that a job the new agency will have is to find a balance between the different kinds of research and all that kind of good stuff, but no big shocks in the immediate period until the new agency is actually in existence.
