Can I ask a question while Ms Dunne is dealing with the figures? The unemployment rate nationally is just over 5% but many of these positions are located in areas where the unemployment rates are higher. Is the Department ensuring there are opportunities for upskilling into those positions? The meat sector is based in rural Ireland where the unemployment figures are much higher. Is that taken into consideration?
