Mr. Eamonn Donnelly:

This was already examined in great detail 15 years ago; it is a recommended model that everybody accepts but it just never happened. The reason it is of benefit is that one can identify particular areas of critical need and match them up with particular areas of experience and expertise. They can be matched up. That is the model. I always say that if one wants to attract people into a career, one first has to make it attractive but once that gateway is opened, one needs to create a pathway. Nobody is going to stay in a career that has no pathway. Part of that pathway is advancing to a more senior level but a critical part is for someone to be able to say they have developed a range of experiences, to know what he or she is good at, what their area of expertise is, and that there is a societal need to deliver it. That is the model and that is where the best is extracted from people. Mr. Cantillon might be able to advance on that but that is my concept of it.
