Mr. Paul O'Toole:

We have not done so to date. It has certainly been considered. It was considered by FÁS in 2009-2010. We discussed the issue internally and we discussed it with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation at the time. We set out a path of three points, which are set out in my statement. We thought there were three important building blocks: efficiency - that is, reducing the rate; improving the service - we have been on a programme of continuous improvement; and testing the market, although we have not to date tested the market. The organisation is no longer FÁS, as it has been dissolved. In future those contracts will be offered through 16 separate organisations. We will, however, revisit future provision when we bring forward our SOLAS strategy to the Minister at the end of March.
