I would like to ask Dr. Fields about the design of the courses, which was mentioned earlier. The case of TalkTalk is relevant to where I am from. The bigger picture relates to the national agencies that deal with these cases. How much interaction and connectivity do Dr. Fields and his colleagues have with IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland when they are designing courses? When the two agencies recently looked at Waterford and the south east, they identified deficiencies in the skills base in the region, for example, when it comes to languages.
This may not be directly relevant in some cases. Does it have connectivity and interaction with the agencies, based on their experience and where they believe the deficits may be?
