View answerMy Department has provided no direct funding to this company in the years specified (2010-16 and to date in 2017). It should be noted that the Marine Institute may, in accordance with section 4 (3) (c) of the Marine Institute Act 1991, enter into joint ventures so as to undertake or further the application of marine research and this company is such a joint venture.
The sources and amounts of funding to this company in the years specified (2010-16 and to date in 2017) is an operational matter for the Marine Institute and I have requested the Marine Institute to respond directly to the Deputy on this specific request.
