I know Mr. Lynch from the JobPath scheme in Limerick and it is a good scheme but I wish to speak about unintended consequences. Community employment, CE, schemes traditionally got people on a repeat basis with new people coming on stream and coming off the live register, but they are finding it difficult to continue to have people from St. Vincent de Paul and other such organisations. Has the Department done a review in this area and how do they see it interacting with JobPath? A person who is aged 63 or 64 may not benefit from a JobPath scheme or community schemes. What are the witnesses' observations on this?
