Will the Minister of State consider for Report Stage some sort of grading of activity in peer review? I accept that conferences, etc., do not need peer review but the vast majority of SFI's work would require peer review status. Will the Minister of State consider some kind of amendment for Report Stage requiring specific elements of SFI's work and funding to have a peer review element as opposed to being able to get by with a lower grade as indicated by "any other review process equivalent to relevant international best practice"?
