Vol. 393 No. 1

Written Answers. - Budgets For Research.

303.

asked the Minister for Education if she will allocate universities budgets for research which are separate from those for teaching in order to ensure that there is a genuine autonomous research effort in all universities.

Funds are provided for the universities through the Higher Education Authority for research as part of their general grants. The universities also receive specific funds for research from other sources such as Eolas, EC and other State and private bodies. I have no immediate plans to change these arrangements.
