I propose to take Questions Nos. 1639 and 1687 together.

My Department provides annual funding to the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS) and the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) to award a number of post graduate scholarships. An application should be made directly to the appropriate Research Council and the terms and conditions of the schemes are available from the Council's websites. The terms and conditions of these post graduate schemes recognise that Scholars may benefit from spending part of the term of the Scholarship away from their registered institutions, including spending part of the academic year engaged in research in Ireland or abroad.
