Have we made it too unattractive? There is a lot of talk about how well paid lawyers, doctors and all these professions are. I have a lot of friends who are medics and many of them have spent years abroad and came back reluctantly for family reasons. Australia is very attractive because of the work conditions. They are very satisfactory for family life, etc. With the new contracts and so on, has it become unattractive to Irish people abroad to come back? We cannot get them back. Would the witness think that is a fair comment?
