- 140 hours will have to be bought in from a Temporary Staff Agency for a cost of £16 per hour.
UCC’s in-house existing library resources will be utilized to provide data for the project. The research data that will be used was purchased some months previously at a cost of £2,050. The data has never been used before and is unlikely to be used again. An additional updated report will however have to be purchased at a cost of £500.

A manager will be involved in the detailed planning, design and logistics for the research.
