I thank Mr. Murphy. We still have a bit of time in case anybody has a final supplementary question.

While Mr. Murphy is thinking, I will go back to his point regarding the challenge around attracting expertise on the language front across the range. He mentioned that we can do more in the universities. Is there something we can be doing in the secondary schools as well in terms of people looking at their own career paths and potential jobs? I am specifically thinking on the Gaeilge requirements and competency as well. The standards are very high when we are talking about translation and the skill set required for that. Is there something we can be doing in the secondary schools? I am interested to hear Mr. Murphy's opinion on that.
