Could I just ask the witness to refrain from referring to me as disingenuous? I would say to the Chairman and witness that I have a job to do. My job is to make sure the interests of any institute are protected. I have a job of work to do to follow the money trail in terms of where there is a relationship between institutes of technology and private companies and where those institutes are shareholders. That is what I am doing here. If that leads us to a situation where some people are unhappy with the questions that are being put, that is fair enough. I have a responsibility to put the questions.

I want to get to policy because policy is important. Could I ask Professor Donnelly, through the Chairman, about the current intellectual property policy in Waterford Institute of Technology?
