This goes to the point I forgot to make earlier. We heard about the scheme in Tallaght, for example, during 2003-2004, Dr. Sweeney spoke about some of the things that public employment services were doing right in terms of accessing supports for everybody and we talked about area-based supports. These all pre-date the establishment of the Labour Market Council. Might there be scope to look back and examine some of the best historic work done and learn from that? Is that something that might be on the cards?
