I do not want to rehash what has been said as my views are pretty much in alignment with what everyone has said. I wish to ask the witnesses about an unrelated matter because Mr. Fielding was unable to attend on the occasion when the committee discussed this matter. In terms of the announcements made under the jobs initiative on the PRSI exemption scheme, other long-standing initiatives introduced by the Department of Social Protection and the Revenue Job Assist initiative, what is the level of awareness of the members of the association of these initiatives? How much does the association promote them? Does Mr. Fielding consider they have been sufficiently promoted by the respective Departments? Is there anything we can do to ensure the association's members are better informed about those schemes? I apologise for raising an unrelated matter but Mr. Fielding could not attend on the previous occasion.
