From reading some of the reports Mr. O'Toole has forwarded to the committee, I note it is often the case that participants in programmes drop out early. There is quite a high attrition rate. Is it then the case that the National Learning Network receives all of the money allocated for that year? Is there some retrenchment process or is some money returned if, for example, a trainee only spends a month or two in a programme due to a range of different factors that tend to occur in everyday life? How does that operate? Does SOLAS seek the return of such money if a programme or project is not completed or if a participant does not complete his or her training programme?
