Dr. Ciarán Seoighe:

I will take that question. The three agencies - Research Ireland, IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland - work very closely. We try to ensure a little bit of overlap, which is best practice between a funding agency like ours that takes a blue-skies, bottom-up approach, through to the slightly further along applied research and enterprise agencies like Enterprise Ireland. That is what we are trying to find. We do not want to find a place where people try to work so hard there is no overlap and then we end up with a gap where things drop and PhDs do not go further. Every now and again we look to see where the gaps are in terms of innovation training and entrepreneurship training, for example. We build that into our PhD programmes so there is a seamless transition across to Enterprise Ireland's commercialisation fund and other funds.
