Mr. Conor O'Connell:

Very briefly, I point out to Deputy Smith that we are not saying, "There is nothing to see here. Move along." We are saying that there has been significant change in the industry since the 1980s. There is greater specialisation and more modern technology and the need to employ certain grades of skilled staff on a continuous basis has diminished. That is a fact. She referred to the boom. There is a boom in Dublin in the construction sector, but that is not the case outside the capital.
