Mr. John McKeon:

No. The context of this is that the European Employment Services, EURES, operates across all European countries. It is one of the way in which the European Commission ensures that one of the four freedoms of Europe, one of which is the free movement of labour, is recognised across Europe. Each country is required to participate in EURES. Sometimes, other countries come to Ireland and host job fairs and sometimes we go abroad and host them. It is about letting people in other parts of Europe know there are employment opportunities in Ireland.
