I thank Mr. McKeon. It is constantly mentioned that we are at a below 5% unemployment rate. Hopefully, that will continue or it will reduce further. In the Celtic tiger era, 5% was generally regarded as full employment yet we are still awarding contracts for Turas Nua and JobPath. What is the thinking behind this?
