View answerThe National Treasury Management Agency which manages the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) have advised me that in line with its double bottom line mandate ISIF has made an investment of €66m in Genuity Science. ISIF’s investment is aimed at supporting the creation of a precision medicine hub in Ireland with associated economic benefits to the Irish economy. ISIF’s role is that of an investor/shareholder and accordingly ISIF has no role in the strategy or operation of Genuity Science.
