I will try to be as brief as possible. Based on this assumption that there are plenty of jobs available at all levels, including in construction, hospitality and so on, does Mr. Egan accept there is a fair number of people in they system who will never get commercial employment, that they might, if we focused on it, get either sheltered employment, or long term employment through schemes such as the Tús scheme, the community services programme, and so on, and that this dream that all of these people will get commercial employment is only that: a fantasy land?
