Mr. John Dunne:

There is a clear roadmap for this in terms of career pay, career progression and travel costs and time. Even if those three issues were to be addressed and the Government were to say it is putting an extra €100 million on the table for it, that would not solve the problem. The staff are not there. We are not competing against the health service or an unemployment queue; rather we are competing against the retail sector and many similar sections of the economy, all of which are experiencing the same sort of problems. There are clearly things that could and should be improved but there is no magic bullet for this.
