It is not. To be honest, what we have created by going cross-government is a new dynamic within the public service. We want to take that to another level by bringing people from outside the sector with particular knowledge in the areas we have identified to drive change. Hopefully, their role will evolve. They will certainly have a significant role in saying where Ireland's competitiveness needs to improve and in what areas we need to reposition ourselves. That dynamic within the process will be really positive. We have to open that up. Employment is a shared challenge and what we have done to date has been looking within the public sector at what changes we can make. This is moving it to another level.
