I wish to return to the term "sustained employment". Is that an appropriate benchmark? The Central Statistics Office, for example, would not use sustained employment but rather part-time or permanent employment. It would not use sustained employment as a benchmark. The period of 13 weeks is a low threshold in the context of measuring success. There are four stages up to a year but a period of 13 weeks would not be a success. From where did that period come? Why did Mr. McKeon refer to sustained employment as opposed to permanent employment?
