Mr. Padraig Boland:

I might take the first two questions, which are within the remit of the ETB. No one came to us - we went out to the workshops. In most cases, 80% plus of workers who have taken the voluntary redundancy package participate in our programmes. I have not heard the narrative of older people no longer being given redundancy, but it is not borne out by what we are meeting on the ground. We had 95 people last Friday morning in Blackwater and a further 45 in the afternoon. The age profile was varied and included many older people.
