Mr. Conlon's comment on the long-term unemployed is one that needs to be addressed. Many people have been in touch with me who have just recently become unemployed - it is a matter of weeks in some cases and a month or two in others - but who have still been referred to JobPath. It seems to have deviated from the initial concept of providing a service for the long-term unemployed.
