I wish the Chairman a good morning and thank the guests. I only have seven minutes so I would like to split my time evenly. I will put three broad questions to each of the representative organisations. First, in terms of the Green Tech Skillnet activity, particularly in terms of wind and solar, I would like to reflect on what my colleague beside me said about questioning 70 wind technician placements paid and approved. That seems a very low number to me. What engagement is Skillnet having with third-level education or with broad industry in terms of trying to widen this out and create courses for that shortage?
