-----which means all that is needed is reasonable accommodation.

We also need that culture shift, which requires the Department to be proactive. I hear what has been said and I understand the Ministers are committed, which is welcome.

I also wish to ask about productivity among our indigenous SME sector and the Department's commitment to improving managerial skills. Is the Department committed to continuing and increasing support schemes to improve managerial skills? I am thinking of something along the lines of a blue certificate scheme, a training certificate that would educate participants in business and commercial law, tax and wage technology, marketing and treasury skills and all of the things with which SMEs sometimes struggle. I am talking about a scheme that would be based on the Teagasc specific purpose certificate in farm administration, that is, the green certificate, which is successfully in operation. Would the Department consider something similar in the SME sector?
