That is all very welcome. We must also deal with issues relating to working conditions, among other factors that are outside the remit of the Minister, to increase retention and make it attractive to work in those spheres.

We are dealing with the sphere of disability. My constituency colleague Deputy O'Dowd may not like what I am about to do, but I raise again the issue of personal assistants, PAs. We have had a significant amount of engagement on this issue. My understanding is the Minister is willing to meet PAs, who do great work at the likes of Ó Fiaich Institute of Further Education and Drogheda Institute of Further Education.
