I suggest IBEC does a survey of the practices of its employers so we get a baseline picture of what is available and the direction of travel.

I will move on. I share IBEC's belief that we need statutory home care and the ESRI has estimated its cost at about €500 million. Will that be in the IBEC pre-budget submission? Is it looking for that to be done? IBEC will be knocking on our door in a few weeks’ time, no doubt, telling us its priorities. Will this be one of them?
