I apologise. I will be just 30 seconds more. It is my final point.

The roadmap, the baptism barrier and the legislation have been mentioned. My key final point is one that Senator Ruane would make if she were here so, in a way, I am using the time she will not be using. If we want a vibrant research community, we need to invest in public research and higher education funding must be restored. We need to make sure we are taking full advantage of the Brexit opportunities by investing in higher education, including community focused public research.
