View answerI have had discussions with Science Foundation Ireland in relation to their ambitions to develop their international footprint. In this regard I understand that the Ireland House approach to developing an overseas agency presence may be an appropriate model to utilise and I am interested to see these plans progress as part of our ongoing engagement with SFI.
