Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs
Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Marine Institute

Mr. Martin Sisk:
Before I answer, I would like to congratulate a school in the Deputy's constituency, Brittas Bay National School, which recently won the explorer's ocean award for 2025. The Deputy was at the ceremony. It is a great achievement. There are 265 staff in the institute at this point in time, of whom 170 are permanent. The rest are on contracts. I am aware this issue is under a serious professional review. I will defer to Dr. Officer to comment further. It is an issue I will look at very carefully.
