As the two themes were joined for our discussions our topics were vast and resulted in a complicated web of ideas.  One of the standout ideas that stood in the distributed theme was the question "how will the population be distributed in the future?"  The ease at which people can migrate internationally is increasing (for example many young Irish people are moving to Australia, mostly due to economic downfall and lack of employment) - but will this result in people being trained in a variety of areas, multi-skilled so that they can move between boom industries - and how will the education system be able to cope with this?
