Another question which occurred to me during the presentation was linking with second level schools. We are trying to focus on encouraging female entrepreneurship and on what else we can do. Clearly, Enterprise Ireland is doing a huge amount, but I am really interested in what was said about going back almost to primary school, or certainly second level, as in other countries. I do not know whether Enterprise Ireland itself would do that. The local enterprise offices do terrific work in linking in with transition year students. Maybe there could be a suggestion that girls-only schools could be targeted to see how that would pan out. If we are serious about encouraging women, maybe we should do something like that. What would Ms Sinnamon think about something like that?
