Grangegorman Development Agency: Financial Statement 2015 (6 Apr 2017) Catherine Murphy: I want to return to the point I was making in regard to knowledge that is generated within universities. Obviously, to build up their curriculum vitae students will want to publish articles. Publication of articles is very often a requirement for employment. They will typically sign a copyright agreement and their materials will be generated through their activities in the universities and...

Grangegorman Development Agency: Financial Statement 2015 (6 Apr 2017) Catherine Murphy: Am I correct that somebody writes an article with the support of the investment that is made in the universities, it is reviewed free of charge, the journal editor is then commissioned and it is selected free of charge and the people who get paid are the people who do the typesetting and the publishers and there is a payment in respect of the portal and then the access is sold?

Grangegorman Development Agency: Financial Statement 2015 (6 Apr 2017) Catherine Murphy: Returning to the point in regard to the €700,000, which is a huge amount of money, it is very difficult to see how any company engaged in that as a business model would go out of business given that very little of the cost of generating the material is borne out of their own resources. This service is in the main publicly funded.

Grangegorman Development Agency: Financial Statement 2015 (6 Apr 2017) Catherine Murphy: There is a great deal of precarious employment now at university level. Following the Cush report, universities had undertaken to ensure that following a duration of employment of two years, contracts would be provided. In the context of lecturing that is done by people who are part-time on the dole, this is a subsidy to the universities and it is not the way to proceed regarding the amount...

The witnesses might update us on, for example, the budgetary controls that go along with a development of that size, the speed at which the development is progressing...

It looks like we are heading back to the same banking model as was in place prior to the crash. Indeed, it was not only the citizens of Ireland who picked up the tab. Many people are in penury who had invested in these banks, in...
