Mr. Peter Davitt:

Mr. Sweetman alluded to a point that was contained in our skills audit of major multinationals and SMEs. In the area of competition for skills there is a potential for many of the companies based here to compete internally and attract more employment opportunities to Ireland but only if we have the right skills. We have conservatively estimated that a further 10,000 jobs could be attracted to Ireland if we had people with the appropriate skills.
