Mr. Sean O'Sullivan:

To change the scale of learning we need to have a huge number of committed mentors and peer mentoring relationships. Enterprise Ireland does some programmes where they send a group of chief executive officers, CEOs, to an executive MBA programme or whatever but following that they still have a peer mentoring network, which is unpaid, where the CEOs meet and talk to each other every so often. Those types of initiatives do not cost any money and are highly effective. That is what we mean when we talk about developing the start-up community. There is a cook book on how to do this, and it is referred to a few times in this report. It is called Startup Communities, by Brad Feld, and is an excellent resource for how to develop all the attributes of a successful, vibrant start-up community, and a big part of that is the mentoring. I wanted to speak to mentoring as a major issue.

The Chairman mentioned social enterprise initiatives. As he knows, I am a big supporter of many initiatives including CoderDojo, MATHletes and other initiatives in Ireland. Those are great, but I was a little confused about the Chairman's question. Is he saying we should be employing people in a JobBridge like programme to support social entrepreneurship?
