Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:

It is never simple, unfortunately. Science Foundation Ireland transferred out of the Department as part of the change in Government responsibilities and moved to the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. My understanding is that it has an ambition to expand but I cannot say because it is not in our budget line or remit anymore.
