My television broke down. I wanted to know where I could find a television repair shop. That was a normal thing when I was a child. It was actually very hard to find that. A map is needed. There is a map on a website called repairmystuff.ieand that needs more help and support from central government. It is run by one of the local authorities. That is a signpost. I believe that going into a mapping app and being able to see little flags near where you live saying “This is a person who will repair this product”. That is the first step in being able both to provide local employment and to help people to do the right thing. I thank the Deputy.
