Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

The point has been made to me by many correspondents and those with an interest in this area that the notion that a degree will get a person the best job is absurd in today's economy. It is frequently postgraduate qualifications that give people the opportunity to compete for employment in the labour market. While the Minister puts to the House the idea that this is a small, incidental change that will not make any difference, it will make a huge difference. I note that she is to initiate a review but that is not what the amendment seeks.
