What I have asked Professor O'Shea is that if the head of research and innovation at the institute was to approach him with a proposal to establish a spin-out company of which he or she proposed to be a shareholder and a director, would that be possible. Is Dr. Love saying he would say it would be inappropriate and that the person should leave his or her space as head of research and then by all means enter the innovation space, or is he now saying that as long as the person was to absent himself or herself from decision-making solely on that company, he or she could remain as head of research and innovation? Perhaps Dr. Love might clarify the policy of the HEA.
