In Ms Buckley's opening statement, she said IDA Ireland will do all it can to match the employees who are being laid off with the extensive employment opportunities that still exist across the economy. I am just looking for some information on how that works. Does it happen only with IDA Ireland client companies, or is it a matter on which IDA Ireland engages more broadly? Not all the companies laying off workers are client companies. Some of them may be behaving disgracefully and others may not be.

Could we have sight of where the vacancies are and what types of jobs they entail? Does Ms Buckley envisage a match-up in respect of them?
