That is true.

I have three questions. While I do not consider fraud to be at the forefront in terms of social welfare - that is the perception more than the reality - will the Minister tell me how the personal services cards are working with the inclusion of photographs and signatures? I tend to meet many people who have licences, insurance policies and other duplicated documents. Does the Minister have a list of the 32 organisations to which she spoke, from youth schemes to rural schemes? I am interested in the youth guarantee programme, in respect of which the Minister spoke about Ballymun. Under whose auspices is it happening? Is there a contract involved?
