I propose to take Questions Nos. 125 and 126 together.
The Deputy's questions relate to the statutory functions of the Health Research Board (HRB) which are to promote, conduct, fund and commission medical, epidemiological and health services research in Ireland. Accordingly, my Department has asked the HRB to examine these matters and to provide the information directly to the Deputy.
