I agree with the Minister of State that we need the jobs to bring back many who have gone, but we do not need jobs that are 100% of what they are doing, many will return for 70% of the job and because they are in technical innovation, they will grow that role into a different area of research and development. We have to be mindful that it takes less effort to get somebody back than to attract somebody new to the country. That is psychology.

My comments are to try to aid or help us see a way forward. That follows from what Deputy Donnelly said about the recruitment process so that if there are bottlenecks in the recruitment process they should be freed up and the avenue should be explored in order to attract them.
