I will have a look at that. I will raise two other matters. In previous discussions James Doorley mentioned the part-time jobs opportunity initiative. That is a way in which people could get experience before they consider leaving. We need to return to the initiative that was used in the 1990s. It would be great if that could be rolled out by the National Youth Council of Ireland and for Social Justice Ireland to target that as well. Such an approach could help to keep people here.

Ms McAleer said she would submit her thoughts on the plan. She also mentioned that she has ideas for the list of stakeholders. I ask that she gives me suggestions of the people who should be involved as that would save us having to reinvent the wheel.
