============================================================

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

The Minister knows the associate membership fee of CERN is a minimum of €1.52 million annually, based on 10% of the full membership cost, which is estimated at €15.2 million annually. This is very important. Could the Minister provide an update? I know discussions have been happening on membership of CERN. As the Minister is aware, it is vitally important in so many ways.
I ask for an update on that.
