Mr. Pat Mellon:

I will also make a brief reply to the Deputy's question. This is also about defining what is "younger" and what is "older". Is there a younger, middle and older age? As Ms Murphy said, it is a dynamic process that people move through. Is it being suggested that someone of 30 years of age should step into somebody's job when that person reaches 65 years? As Ms Murphy said, that argument is discriminatory. We are also lucky to have such a dynamic labour and employment market at the moment. There is an illogical aspect to that argument as well.
