Marie Louise O'Donnell: I recently received a communication from a young man, Thomas Brophy, from the Tipperary regional youth service on getting employment through a job scheme which states: I am financially stable. I have a routine. I have something to look forward to, it is different every day, it keeps me on my toes and I am not repeating uselessness every day. When I was out of a job, one day meant three...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Are there radio and television adverts?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Youth Guarantee: Department of Social Protection (28 May 2014)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: There should be generally. The banks are telling us every day that they will save our lives even though they have ruined us. Only €100,000 has been earmarked for this, but there is a place for a good radio advert and a good, short television advert highlighting all of the work the Department is doing.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I know, but I would be quite happy to meet people. This is important. The public needs to know about this kind of work. So do Members if they are to be able to explain what is happening. Much of it is internal-----

Marie Louise O'Donnell: With a view to addressing the issue of youth unemployment, does Mr. McKeon believe his Department is using modern media well to communicate information on all of the various programmes available using the language of young people? I refer to youth media, specialist youth channels, radio, the written press, youth press and college press. Is there a place for the Department to develop and...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: There are bigger matters than that in it. There is a significant amount of "cross-fertilisation". I hate such agricultural words, but there is a significant amount that could be used. If I hear the word "entrepreneurship" again, I will implode somewhere on a road when people have not the oracy to explain themselves. There is a considerable amount that could be done there in effective...
