Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

General Scheme of the Research and Innovation Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. Frank Jones:

I have a concern they are already at an economic disadvantage and that the funding is disproportionately going into the STEM area.

That has an effect on the terms and conditions of employment and engagement for those, as one can imagine. We are very concerned about. The parity of esteem issue could be addressed at board level.
