-----5,000 young children presented their particular proposals at a gaming and science fair recently which was quite exceptional. I was at a firm in Sandyford recently and it was interesting to see two ends of the research and innovation spectrum. Some of the brightest students from universities all over the world were at the plant concerned speaking to and being mentored by Irish peers in terms of the research and the innovative work they do. At the lower end of the scale, they had teams of children aged six or seven who are now well ensconced in CoderDojo which is an important voluntary movement. These children mentor their own age group on the writing of code which makes computers work and think.

I do not know the industrial relations problem that exists-----
