Ms Susanne Rogers:

One of the statistics I found, although I do not recall where, showed that the long-term unemployment rate at the moment is 1%, a record low level. We are talking about a tiny cohort, so it should be possible to target them and put in those supports. These are small numbers but, as Ms O'Brien said, it is about preventing that for generations who are coming through. On the radio earlier, there was a discussion on the rise in insolvencies among small and medium enterprises in retail and hospitality, which the CE scheme links into. Those are usually the sorts of skills people are being provided with in that area.
