Dr. Mary Rose Sweeney:

Research is expensive to conduct. That was one of the big outlays and that was undertaken by the academic staff who were in the university and who do research all the time. That was an initial big outlay. Sensory pods are approximately €7,000 per unit and we need an awful lot more of those. Escape hatches are probably a similar cost. Those physical things are expensive. There are also the matters of embedding a culture, having conversations and raising awareness. In the case of staff training, there is a cost to the universities. It is not all about cost. Some of those physical things are expensive but it is not all about changing something physical.
