Mr. Denis Leamy:

Deputy Canney also asked about people aged 55 years being asked to leave the scheme to be replaced by someone younger. As the labour market gets tighter, our increased focus is going to be on people who find it the most difficult in accessing employment, the longer-term unemployed or people who have a whole series of obstacles to gaining employment. Part of our informing of policy and Government Departments will be about the focus that needs to be put there. The recovery will allow us to be far more focused on those who need it most. That would be in respect of people of all different needs and ages in terms of accessing employment and the various schemes. I take on board what the Deputy said and it will be to the fore of our thoughts in working with the Government Departments and developing the schemes.
