There are three line Ministers, namely, those with responsibility for education and skills, jobs, enterprise and innovation and social protection, involved with this brief. Does it concern the Minister, Deputy Bruton, that matters may get lost between the cracks? In the context of where we need to be in terms of focus, is there an argument to be made for one focused department of jobs in each of the member states across the Union? Would that not be better than having different Ministries dealing with various aspects and resulting in genuine initiatives being watered down because of the need to compromise?
