Can Mr. McKeon send us a note on them? It should cover some 5,000 people. The figure went up because it included the higher rate of €36 per week, plus the Christmas bonus.

That is fine. I did not know it was the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection that paid that directly. I am just making that point. The matter I want to deal with is on page 25, which is the next page. The average payment on the rural employment scheme is €262 per week while the average payment on Tús is €241. A comparative figure is not given for the community services programme. What would that be?
