Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (Resumed)
12:15 pm
Mr. John McKeon:
I will mention one thing about the offices. As I said, given the dispersal of population in Ireland, we will always have these issues. I said in my opening statement that I, as Secretary General, and the Senator, as a public representative, hear about the hard cases. We do not hear about the vast majority of good cases.
I mention the rating of the easy locations. A question we ask in our independent research is whether people find the location of JobPath offices easy to get to. It scored 4.63 out of five on a scale of zero to five. That is an extraordinarily high score by any measure, so for the overwhelming majority of people the offices are easy to get to but there will always be difficult cases.
