Written answers

In June 2020, it was announced by the Taoiseach that certain science and research functions would transfer from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment to the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. 

The two Departments have been working closely to agree the details and arrangements for the transfer of functions, and it is anticipated that this process will be concluded in the coming weeks and Government will be asked to agree the proposal.
