Mr. John McKeon:
On employer fraud, the payments which we make to employers on the welfare side are predominantly made in respect of the wage subsidy scheme and the JobsPlus scheme. These are recruitment subsidies and are entirely contingent on the person being in employment. We have not detected any fraud on that side.
