Mr. Ian Talbot:

It is a huge challenge. Before the Senator arrived, we were talking about the speed at which a whole range of employment is moving. 3-D printing is a significant area. I believe some construction in Dundalk, for example, is happening with 3-D printing, so where will that leave bricklayers? The likelihood is that an awful lot of people joining the workforce today or who are already in the workforce will have to go through multiple career changes and we must prepare them for that in terms of skills but also potentially in terms of the psychology of knowing when it is time to move on. There are some real challenges that might come not necessarily from the Department but from other areas.

Regarding how we reach those non-members, everyone gets communication from Revenue. I have always thought that there is a good opportunity for Revenue to be used to promote key things for businesses. Everyone opens their communications from Revenue. I am not sure whether it would want to do it but everyone pays attention to it. How we get people's attention is really important.
