Mr. Michael Culbert:

About 20 years ago, Mark Fitzgerald set up a casual organisation, based in Glencree, which dealt with political ex-prisoner issues. It was not structured and did not have any state input. For what it is worth, when we are dealing with employers' organisations or individual employers, even formal letters coming from the offices of the First Minister and the deputy First Minister are very effective in persuading people that there is gravitas behind the issues that have been raised with them and that it is not just an individual former political prisoner trying to provide their case. The Senator's idea is excellent and is something that should be set up.
