Róisín Shortall: Three to five years seems like quite a short timeline. Can Mr. Reid provide just one response about the number of work placements? I might ask my colleagues to reply to that as I am not familiar with the issue that Deputy Shortall has just referenced or perhaps I have just missed it. What specific placements?
