Rose Conway-Walsh: 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...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Of course I do, and it is very valuable and useful. The students hear of the millions and millions of euro and then they are really struggling and do not have enough for their heating or for their accommodation and for other basic things. We just need to be aware of that when we are announcing an additional €8 million in funding when we do not really see an additional €8...

Rose Conway-Walsh: We also need to be careful in that regard. Public private partnerships have long been called for. I would add a word of caution in respect of what that model ends up looking like. We must ensure we get proper value for the absolutely necessary investment. I do not believe that the €32 million is nearly enough but it is a move in the right direction. Much more than that amount will...

Rose Conway-Walsh: No, it is okay. I am concerned that caps are being put on the funding for some of the colleges, and I have been made aware that students have been told they will only get half as much as they got last year. I spoke with the Minister, Deputy Simon Harris, about this previously. Some of the colleges in the west were told this. It is of concern to me. Also, we need to be careful around how...
