If the Government is serious about giving opportunities to people who want to continue working, Mr. Charles Lynch, the Galway county development officer, is a good example. If we highlight a number of the issues and cut out some of the bureaucracy telling us to follow old rules and regulations, it will be a positive step forward.

Today's debate has been good and I compliment Senator White on raising the matter. I thank the Senators who have contributed to the discussion. The Department will take on board the issues that have been raised, which will add considerably to the debate.
