Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-04-23
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I know. I am flagging that there will be a number of amendments that address some of these questions. Yes, after a period of time that was brought forward, but the initial part of it moved through very fast, and Senators were put under extreme pressure for simply proposing amendments and asking for debate on matters of definition.
I want to be clear that I think that some mistakes were made in respect of the HEA Act and that there is an opportunity to address them.
