I want to comment briefly on one point. Regarding funding for research and development, the universities funds, the established international model of funding is based on a ratio of one third, one third and one third in terms of public, competitiveness, and industrial funding. The governance and monitoring of that are matters for the Higher Education Authority and the education sector, not our Department.
