That is why I said that but it seems the analysis is indicating that. Is it now the disposition of the Department that there are big questions in this respect that need to be seriously examined and that there are not even clear criteria as to what is quality employment and training and that needs to be examined? Are the figures we are getting from the beneficiaries of this relief accurate? Is their analysis of the sector and the benefits of this relief accurate, and how do we judge that? Does Mr. Cullen get my point?

Does Mr. Cullen consider it a serious matter? Who would act on it if somebody was breaching employment legislation with this money? Is it fair to say it would be a cut and dried breach of the conditions if somebody had been shown, for example, by the State industrial machinery legislation to have breached a worker's rights?

They clearly have not given him or her quality employment and training. What are the consequences, if any?
