I thank Ms Shakespeare. In Galway, my home city, I am familiar with employers leading the way that are involved in partnership, for example, Tesco and Eye Cinema. I suppose I am asking in relation to the take-up of other companies and what is done to encourage other private companies to come on board to lead the way as Tesco Ireland is doing. That is prevalent in Galway city.
I commend Mr. Hannafin's testimony. He gave a human side to this and I commend him on that.
With regard to encouraging other companies to come on board, I see some companies leading the way, but what is being done to broadening out that sphere?
