Regarding local employment services, LES, Mr. McKeon said some of those companies were spoken to. We had LES representatives in here a number of weeks ago and they said there was no engagement from the Department with a view to trying to build up the excellent service they provide, albeit limited, across the State. None of those discussions took place; I refer to evidence that was given to this committee.
