Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
It is very hard to be specific in terms of the Department's contribution. The institutional reform I referred to earlier, in terms of bringing together the activation services with the income support services, has meant that kind of seamless engagement with people which has allowed us to tailor the supports that we offer, to profile people in terms of their own ability to exit from the live register or to identify those who might need greater help and assistance.
