The BTWA cutback is minor and will not result in much of a saving. However, it ignores the current state of the labour market. Significant changes have taken place in recent years and the Minister has pointed to a number. Ireland does not have the reservoir of well educated people it had four or five years ago whom multinationals want to employ. Everybody needs to be encouraged to continue in third level education or, if they are unemployed, to re-enter third level education so they can take up jobs and the State can continue to attract foreign direct investment, which has been essential to its economic growth in recent years. There is no good or logical reason the cutback proposed by the Minister should be implemented. She referred to "retargeting at second level." The incentive exists to take up second level education. There is no retargeting involved as she is making it more difficult to receive an allowance to take up third level education. There is no justification for this in current circumstances as little money will be saved and it does not make sense.
