Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 153 and 162 together.

My Department did not make a formal submission to Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) on their draft Strategy 2020 - 2025. However, officials from my Department and the Higher Education Authority met with officials from SFI on 30 September 2019 and discussed the draft Strategy. My Department wrote to SFI following this meeting outlining points raised at the meeting, including the importance of a balanced research system.
