I thank the Minister and the Minister of State. In the context of Brexit, what steps has the Department taken to attract academic talent who may be considering leaving Britain? We should be in prime position to attract some of the top academic talent, which would enhance our status and reputation in the area of third level education. Are there plans in place in that regard which the Department can share with the committee?
