Ms Roisin Collins:

It is a small company somewhere in the midlands that wanted to hire this person. The position was on the ineligible list. We could not do anything for the company in that regard even though it obviously needed this person. One also could not find training for this skill. It is one person, and we had never heard of the particular skill set. The company is small so it would not need 15 heart strings butchers, they were just going to have one. It is for that kind of circumstance where we know the job is not going to be a constant vacancy and the skill set is almost completely unique but for some reason it falls foul of our system because it is ineligible or due to the remuneration level. It is about being able to have a system that is flexible enough to recognise that there are circumstances which are unusual and which we should be able to deal with.
