In regard to skill sets, Ms Sinnamon said Enterprise Ireland tries to address deficiencies in skills. We heard last week that there was a call for a degree in sales. Maybe only one college is delivering on that. Does Ms Sinnamon see a requirement for a full degree? Many years ago, one could get a certificate in sales techniques or whatever. Does Ms Sinnamon see a need for that? The point made was that there are some skills which women need to build on. I am not suggesting for a second that we direct people in one direction but that point was made. Does Ms Sinnamon agree with that?
