My final question is on governance. There has been some news about the potential influence of non-state actors in this State and, indeed, these Houses, but I would be grateful to know the Minister’s opinion on the Confucius Institutes and similar institutes that are not entirely under the governance of Irish universities. I would be grateful for the Minister’s perspective on whether the State should continue supporting the Confucius Institutes.
