One part that we should follow closely is the provision for 2,000 work experience places.
"Work Experience Scheme: Provide 2,000 places on a new Work Experience Scheme on a cost neutral basis where the State’s payment will be equivalent to social welfare Job Seeker Benefit/Assistance weekly rates. The details of this scheme will be finalised between the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and the Department of Social and Family Affairs with a view to early implementation."
