Can I just ask one more question? I am continually perplexed as to why west Belfast has never broken out of the cycle of unemployment. I just do not understand it. What the hell is holding it back? I know there is a cultural problem there and I understand that, but why is the system in the North not trying passionately to help the people there? I am not asking Ms Croskery to solve the world's problems, but I would like some help on that. It is the most disadvantaged area in the UK.
