On that point, one good development is that for people who did not have the leaving certificate, FETAC gives them the equivalent. I was out looking at community employment schemes in my area recently and local community groups put a big emphasis on getting people to get the FETAC certificate. It means that they have a qualification, they do not need to worry any more about not having the leaving certificate because what they have is as good.
We are going to conclude at this stage so I invite any final comments or outstanding questions.
