I do not really understand why Dr. McGann disagreed with my summary, with all due respect. Dr. McGann said that "shortages among lower-skilled workers and subsequent pressure on wages have the potential to be as harmful to the Irish economy as a shortage of skilled labour". The logic of IBEC's position is that it wants to be able to keep wages low, although it may not describe those wages as such. It does not want wages to rise and that is the reason for its proposals in these areas. Is that not a fair summary of IBEC's position?
