I am asking Dr. McQuinn to gaze into a crystal ball and that is difficult.
He went on to talk about the non-viable industries in the context of the 10% unemployment rate. What does the ESRI envisage emerging as non-viable industries? Dr. McQuinn talked about the consequences of long-term unemployment for the State payments. Marrying those issues together, namely, the long-term unemployment rate of 10% and non-viable industries, could he develop the point a little?
