I also welcome the proposed improved management of our intellectual property and the standardising of terms. This is also what the market has been calling for. Money spent on research must be turned into jobs where possible and obstacles must be eliminated. Clear lines of communication must be established and burdensome red tape minimised to get products to market. I look forward to the Euroscience Open Forum as another important step in the development of the knowledge economy. I hope the forum will be successful in its mission of engaging and informing the general public about science. I wish the festivals to which the Minister of State referred well, including the Cork science festival and the Galway science and technology festival which has been running for several years. I acknowledge the good work done by his predecessor and former representative of my constituency, Mr. Noel Treacy, on the Galway festival.
