Mr. A. J. Noonan:

I agree with the point on mentoring which this is crucial in all businesses. In the past 48 hours I heard of a chap who was on social welfare. He wanted to do a few days' work and become part of the system. The company in question wanted him to be self-employed for a few days. He explained that if he was self-employed and then returned the following week to the social welfare office, he would receive no benefits. That is a great obstacle. If the committee could come up with a simple methodology to allow that chap to do a few days' work and then return to the social welfare system, it would be wonderful.
