Ms Ann Riordan:

I would be reluctant to say there are too many people going through the formal university system when one looks at all of the numbers who are unemployed. That is what FIT is about. It should be used as a model right across the broad industries. At this stage I would be reluctant to say we are wrong. Let us fix the problem of the long-term unemployed and those who need reskilling first. When we are back to 4% unemployment we could look at the issue again.
