We live in a knowledge society. In regard to infrastructural projects, the stimulus package agreed by the Government during the summer is aimed at schools projects, health centre projects, and the recent decision on the national children's hospital. All of those, in addition to addressing service needs, are about the generation of employment. There are areas where the potential for growth and employment is as much about knowledge as about infrastructure.
