We absolutely must focus on bringing equity to our researchers, not only for them as individuals being driven into poverty with accommodation costs and everything else, but also in the context of where Ireland is going. To stay ahead of research and development, we need to encourage more researchers. We have wonderful researchers. The Minister of State has met them and I have met with some of them. We need to encourage more researchers and the way to do that is by treating them fairly and ensuring they have enough to live on.
