I agree with the Deputy. In no area of our employment strategy are we happy that we have reached our desired destination. It must be acknowledged, however, that enterprise has created more than 58,000 job opportunities over the past 12 months, or 62,000 if one nets out the decline in the public sector. Clearly that changes the environment by creating a better arena in which people with disabilities can succeed. We are certainly not content with our current position in respect of our job targets or integrating people into opportunities, however.
