Depicting it as low-skilled may not be helpful when talking about the skills need and employment need in the care sector. On my second question, I thank Dr. McGann for the detailed document which complemented today's presentation. She talks about a competition between the construction industry and the manufacturing and food processing industries for workers. Will she go into more detail about what she means by that? As we understand it, those coming into the construction sector would have a set of skills acquired in their own country and they would have to meet a specific standard coming into construction in Ireland. Will Dr. McGann talk about how she sees the competition where people are drawn away from manufacturing and food processing and into construction?
