Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

On the joint committee's report, we have done an initial assessment and written back to the committee on that. We have highlighted that it would be useful to tease out with the committee a number of the recommendations in more detail. We have also met colleagues in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. As to giving the Deputy a precise answer on how many will be recommended, I cannot give her that answer now because we need further engagement with the Oireachtas committee. Nonetheless, it is a key item on our work agenda for 2023.
