882. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of PhD positions funded by his Department or agencies under the aegis of his Department such as Teagasc; the average stipend or salary paid to full-time PhD candidates through these funding streams; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Department is currently funding three PhD positions which are being pursued on a part-time basis by all of the officers concerned.
The matter of funding PhD studies in those State Bodies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred this query to the State Bodies under the aegis of my Department and have asked that they respond directly on the matter.
