Mr. Paddy Lynn:

Hospitality is a heartfelt, vocational task and life choice. Chefs are integral to that. One either wants to do it or one will not do it. The best thing we can do is to get our youth on board, however that is achievable. It was remarkable to hear a McDonald's advertisement the other day. During it, there was advertising about becoming a chef as a child. That is a large international company commenting on the issue of chefs worldwide, not just in Ireland. Keeping people in hospitality is difficult. I cannot speak to the reasons why in other countries but we have to compete for talent here. We cannot all be the best destinations for tourism on Earth. Ireland is ahead of the posse. Now we just need to sustain our hospitality offering.
