I raised a question about this on Second Stage. At present, we can see the budget for Forfás, given that it is a separate agency of the Department, and we can decipher how much of the budget is being spent on independent research. Will it still be possible to see how much the Department is spending on independent research and research that might challenge the Department as well as other instruments of policy in respect of enterprise in the new presentation of budgets after the dissolution?
