Mr. John McKeon:

There is a net addition. I will give the sums of money, but I will come to the places as well. Within the Department of Social Protection, the Department of Education and Skills, etc., there is approximately €46 million of additional expenditure this year compared to previous years directly attributable to the youth guarantee on places, etc. Those places are made up as follows. There are 1,500 on JobsPlus. There are approximately 2,000 on the internship programme - although there are 1,500 places at any one point in time, because it is of a six-to-nine month duration, we will get approximately 2,000 through it. We have an extra 1,000 places for young people on the Tús scheme. Regarding the places we are talking about for the language and international mobility, we have 250 places this year to see how that goes. We are talking to our colleagues, in particular, in Germany, about that, and to the education and training board in Dublin about running a language programme to make it happen. On MOMENTUM, which is in the Department of Education and Skills, there are 2,000. To use the word Senator O'Donnell mentioned, "entrepreneurship", the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has a microfinance fund. The Taoiseach launched some information about this recently. It is planned that approximately 700 young people will qualify for funding.
